Iron, Manganese & Hydrogen Sulfide Filtration (Greensand Plus)
|
- Manganese Greensand is formulated from a glauconite greensand which is capable of removing iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water through oxidation and filtration.
- Manganese and soluble iron are oxidized and precipitated by contact with higher oxides of manganese on the greensand granules. The hydrogen sulfide is eliminated by oxidation to sulfate and an insoluble precipitate. Precipitates are then filtered and removed by backwashing.
- When the oxidizing capacity power of the Manganese Greensand bed is exhausted, the bed has to be regenerated with a weak potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution thus restoring the oxidizing capacity of the bed. Two to four ounces of potassium permanganate, in solution, per/cu.ft. of Manganese Greensand is considered sufficient for normal regeneration.
Advantages
- Iron removal over wide ph range
- Effective removal of hydrogen sulfide in addition to iron and/or manganese.
- No harmful effects from a chlorine feed.
- Low attrition loss for long bed life.
