5. CONCLUSION
The results obtained in this research stage show the possibility of
using Klinopur-Mn in the removal of iron and manganese in water
treatment processes (contact manganese removal). This material is
comparable to the imported filtration material Birm. In this respect it
is important to continue with the research aimed at identifying the
length of the filtration cycle for water low and moderately contaminated
by iron and manganese. Moreover, it is necessary to prepare
a proposal for the optimum method of regeneration of the medium.
The same attention should be
paid to knowledge about the properties
of the active preparation layer, i.e., the layer’s thickness or the ratio
of its weight to the total weight of the material as well as its chemical
composition. For future research it is recommended to carry out an
evaluation of the chemical composition of the preparation and its
activity based on the weight ratio of manganese to oxygen in the
preparation. Based on the results of the following research, it will be
possible to economically assess the whole technological process and
give a clear opinion on the use of Klinopur-Mn in water treatment
processes.
The technological tests were done within the VEGA1/4208/07
Grant Project.
