Abstract

AbstractManganese salts in groundwater are among the most troublesome compounds and if these waters are to be used for municipal and industrial purposes, manganese must be removed to meet normative levels in accordance with the regulation of Minister of Health (20 April 2010) and the European Union Council Directive 98/83/EC. The aim of this study was therefore to select the most efficient filter beds to remove manganese from drinking water or water for economic purposes. The research included conducting the filtration process, in which seven different beds were used as the filter material: the Greensand, G-1, the Hydrocarbon, Zeolite, the Crystal Right, Ecomix A, and Ecomix C. All tested beds could be used for elimination of manganese. The authors showed a dependence of the concentrations obtained in the filtrate on the type and the nature of particular beds. It is recommended that the Greensand, the Crystal Right, and Ecomix C should be used in order to purify groundwater, where there is no additional c...
