Abstract
Background
Mn(VII) wastewater is a serious hazard to the environment; however, few existing methods can remove Mn(VII) from wastewater. In addition, unreasonable treatment methods can have a negative impact on the environment.
Method
The use of mercaptoacetyl aminomethy-polyacrylamide (MAAPAM) as a multifunctional flocculant for removing Mn(VII) and total Mn from water samples was investigated in this study. The effects of various factors, including pH, initial Mn(VII) concentration, turbidity, and coexisting ions including K+, Na+, NH4+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Cl-, and SO42-, on removal efficiency was evaluated. The flocculation mechanism was elucidated through SEM and XPS analyses.
Significant Findings
Systematic testing revealed optimal removal efficiencies at pH levels of 3 and 9, achieving 100% removal efficiency for Mn(VII) and 97.93% for total Mn at an initial concentration of 25 mg/L. Other factors, such as initial Mn(VII) concentration, turbidity, and most coexisting ions, had negligible effects on removal efficiency, with the exception of Fe2+. Specifically, Fe2+ enhanced Mn(VII) removal but decreased total Mn removal due to redox interactions. Mn(VII) removal involves redox reactions, chelation, flocculation, and precipitation processes. Stable complexes with Mn(IV) were formed by the sulfydryl and amino groups on MAAPAM, while adsorption bridging facilitated the aggregation of MAAPAM-Mn flocs.
