Biofiltration for drinking water treatment has several quality benefits but questions remain about biofilter start-up in temperate climates where temperature and changes can impact performance. A year-long full-scale demonstration was performed with biofilters operated parallel to chlorinated filters (O1) monitor the development of microbiota across acclimation period respect removal Mn total o...

Concern over the neurotoxic effects of chronic moderate exposures to manganese has arisen due to increased awareness of occupational exposures and to the use of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, a manganese-containing gasoline antiknock additive. Little data exist on how the oxidation state of manganese exposure affects toxicity. The objective of this study was to better understand ...

Manganese represents an essential trace element that is accumulated and utilized by virtually all forms of life. This redox active metal is a key cofactor for a wide range of metalloenzymes, including oxidases and dehydrogenases, DNA and RNA polymerases, kinases, decarboxylases, and sugar transferases (11, 25). In addition to serving as an essential nutrient, manganese can also be toxic. In hum...

In this work, HKUST-1 and different metal modified materials were investigated in Hg 0 removal performance under air condition. Results showed that the pristine only has a mercury rate of around 20%. After modification HKUST-1, efficiency was significantly improved. Among employed study, by manganese chloride exhibited highest 95% at 250 o C. This value is relatively high compared with most pre...
