The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California initiated a study to evaluatemanganese (Mn) desorption from filter media during biological filtration start up. Mncontamination of the filter media was a byproduct of multiple years of pre-chlorinationwhile using Mn-containing ferric chloride (FeCl<sub>3</sub>) for coagulation. During pilot- and fullscaletesting, FeCl<sub>3</sub> coagulation (without chlorine) released soluble Mn at nearly fourtimes the level compared to alum (105 µg/L for FeCl<sub>3</sub> and 27 µg/L for alum). Pilot-scaleexperiments led to the conclusion that Mn was present in the filter column in threevalance states [Mn(II), Mn(III), and Mn(IV)]. Mn in the filter effluent was hypothesizedto be first physically displaced as Mn(III) from anthracite media by ferric iron,aluminum, and hydrogen, and then catalytically oxidized to Mn(IV) by silica sand.
