Influence of nitrite on the removal of Mn(II) using pilot-scale biofilters

Two pilot-scale biofilters were used to systematically investigate the influence of nitrite on biological Mn(II) removal. Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) of the redox reaction between MnO2 and NO2– was 122.28 kJ mol–1 in 298 K, suggesting that MnO2 could not react with NO2–. When nitrite in the influe...
