Characterizing the impact of MnO2 addition on the efficiency of Fe0/H2O systems

Abstract The role of manganese dioxide (MnO2) in the process of water treatment using metallic iron (Fe0/H2O) was investigated in quiescent batch experiments for t ≤ 60 d. MnO2 was used as an agent to control the availability of solid iron corrosion products (FeCPs) while methylene blue (MB) was an...
