REMOVAL OF MANGANESE(II) FROM ACID MINE WASTEWATER: A REVIEW OF THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON MN-OXIDIZING BACTERIA AND MICROALGAE
Li, Y., Z. Xu, H. Ma, and A.S. Hurthouse. | Water 11(12):2493

This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the main implications and challenges of Mn(II) removal from mine drainage. The review compares several techniques to remove Mn(II) from wastewater, assesses the challenges associated with precipitation, adsorption, and oxidation/filtration, and provides an analysis of remediation options with special emphasis on Mn-oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) and microalgae. The review concludes with alternative treatments for manganese mine drainage that focuses on the synergistic interactions of Mn in wastewater with co-immobilized MnOB/microalgae. https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/11/12/2493
