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. Hursthouse. | Water 11(12):2493
A comprehensive assessment was conducted to review the main implications and challenges of Mn(II) removal from mine drainage. The review includes sources of contamination from mineral processing, adverse effects of Mn on mining ecosystems, a comparison of several techniques to remove Mn(II) from wastewater, and an assessment of the challenges associated with precipitation, adsorption, and oxidation/filtration. The review also analyzes remediation options with special emphasis on Mn-oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) and microalgae and proposes an alternative treatment for manganese mine drainage that focuses on the synergistic interactions of Mn in wastewater with co-immobilized MnOB/microalgae.
