Relatively long operational time is required to achieve effective manganese removal in conventional aeration-filtration groundwater treatment with virgin filter media. Ripening period depends on water quality, operational parameters, and the filter media used. This study assessed ...
The aim of this study was to identify bacteria present in ripened manganese removal filters for drinking water production. The bacterial population was identified with 'next generation' DNA sequencing, and specific bacteria were quantified with quantitative polymerase chain react ...

Manganese removal from groundwater

Role of biological and physico-chemical autocatalytic processes

In The Netherlands, Belgium and other European countries, manganese is removed from groundwater by aeration followed by rapid (sand) filtration. Although manganese removal from groundwater has been studied extensively, the mechanisms that control the ripening of filter media are ...
