Abstract

Develops design and operational guidelines for iron and manganese removal systems, based on an evaluation of the removal efficiency of various strong oxidants (ozone, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, oxygen, and chlorine). Also examines effects of variations in physical and chemical parameters on oxidative removal and interrelates laboratory and full-scale monitoring studies to better define removal mechanisms in full-scale systems. Published as two reports: Removal of Soluble Manganese From Water by Oxide-Coated Filter Media was published in 1989. Alternative Oxidants for the Removal of Soluble Iron and Manganese was published in 1990. (Still available to Foundation subscribers in PDF format as Order 90557 and 90573).
