The oxidative degradation of organic contaminants using a manganese oxide-containing mine waste

Manganese oxide tailings material, a waste product generated during Mn ore extraction processes in South Africa, has been assessed in terms of its potential to oxidatively breakdown organic contaminants. Azo dyes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (anthracene) show oxidative interactions with the...
