REMEDIATION OF MANGANESE-CONTAMINATED COAL-MINE WATER USING BIO-SORPTION AND BIO-OXIDATION BY THE MICROALGA PEDIASTRUM DUPLEX (AARLG060): A LABORATORY-SCALE FEASIBILITY STUDY
Thongpitak, J., J. Pekkoh, and C. Pumas. | Frontiers in Microbiology 10:2605(2019)

This study evaluated microalgal Mn biosorption and biooxidation of water from a rehabilitated coal mine reservoir. The microalga was tested in filtered water obtained from the rehabilitated site, nonfiltered water that was sterilized with an autoclave, and non-treated water. All treatments of living microalga supported Mn biooxidation and achieved >97% Mn removal. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6861300/pdf/fmicb-10-02605.pdf
