Upcycling of groundwater treatment sludge to magnetic Fe/Mn-bearing nanorod for chromate adsorption from wastewater treatment.

Groundwater treatment sludge is a Fe/Mn-bearing waste that is mass produced in groundwater treatment plant. In this study, sludge was converted to a magnetic adsorbent (MA) by adding ascorbate. The sludge was weakly magnetised in the amorphous form with Fe and Mn contents of 28.8% and 8.1%, respecti...
