Abstract:
... Bioaugmented sand filtration has attracted considerable attention because it can effectively remove contaminants in drinking water without additional chemical reagent addition. In this study, a synthesized chemical manganese dioxide (MnO₂)-coated quartz sand (MnQS) and biogenic manganese oxide (BioMnOₓ) composite system was proposed to simultaneously remove typical pharmaceutical contaminants and ...

The as-prepared materials were used as catalysts for catalytic oxidation of toluene (2000 ppmV). Physical and chemical properties of the catalysts were measured using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR), scan ...

Abstract:
... Globally, there is a major shift to electric vehicles to combat climate change and these vehicles are currently powered by lithium-ion batteries that contain nickel cobalt manganese oxide materials. This technological change from internal combustion engines means that demand for battery minerals will need to increase by factors of >20 for the critical metals required for batteries in the next thre ...

Abstract:
... Manganese oxide minerals can become enriched in a variety of metals through adsorption and redox processes, and this forms the basis for a close geochemical relationship between Mn oxide phases and Co. Since oxalate‐producing fungi can effect geochemical transformation of Mn oxides, an understanding of the fate of Co during such processes could provide new insights on the geochemical behaviour of ...

Abstract:
... In this article, we present the first archaeological evidence for crucible steel production in Anatolia uncovered in recent excavations at Kubadabad, which was built as a palace by the Anatolian Seljuks in the early 13th century AD. Along with plenty of crucible sherds recovered at the site, blades made of crucible steel, production waste-iron chunks and manganese oxide pellets also revealed remar ...
... Manganese ores are the major raw materials utilized in the production of manganese ferroalloys. Decrepitation, which is described as the breakage or disintegration of the ore particles upon heating in a rotary kiln, is an important quality parameter of these ores. The Decrepitation Index (DI), the parameter used to describe the extent of decrepitation, is described as the ratio of the mass of part ...

Abstract:
... Biogenic isoprene is an important pollutant for regional air quality. Being ubiquitously distributed on the earth surface, manganese (hydr)oxides should play a vital role in the transformation of isoprene. Cryptomelane is a typical manganese oxide with isomorphous substitution of Fe for Mn, but less attention has been paid to its heterogeneous reaction with isoprene. When Fe³⁺ replaces Mn³⁺, K⁺ is ...

Abstract:
... Low-pressure ultrafiltration membrane (LPM) is an ideal technology for decentralized water supply. However, the applicability for removing ferrous iron (Fe²⁺), manganese (Mn²⁺), and ammonia (NH₄⁺) in the source water and related mechanisms remained unknown. To fill this major knowledge gap, we systematically compared the pristine (pr-LPM) and MnO₂-preloaded membrane (Mn-LPM). Mn-LPM allowed higher ...
