Manganese Removal by Oxidation With Potassium Permanganate

Reginald B. Adams

Abstract

Potassium permanganate has been used successfully for the regeneration of manganese ion exchanger. This process utilizes permanganate as a powerful, fast‐acting oxidizing reagent and one that does the job usually in the neutral or slightly alkaline pH range. Potassium permanganate can be used basically in the same manner to oxidize the manganese in a conventional water treatment plant. The oxidation is fast in a slightly alkaline pH range.
