Key Takeaways The complex chemistry of manganese makes optimizing its removal in surface water treatment plants challenging, particularly if a facility is zero‐liquid discharge or if it recycles significant portions of its process washwater. Concentrations of manganese fractions across treatment and solids‐handling processes must be understood for optimal removal. Efforts to optimize treatment for a specific contaminant such as manganese must account for any effects on other unit processes.
