PMS coupled Mn(II) mediated electrochemistry processes (E-Mn(II)-PMS) on the efficient RB19 wastewater treatment: Focus on the regulation and reinforcement of Mn(III)/Mn(II).

Dye wastewater, represented by reactive blue 19 (RB19), severely threatens the aquatic ecological environment and human health, such that an efficient RB19 wastewater treatment technology should be urgently developed. Based on manganese ion-mediated electrochemistry, PMS was introduced to develop a novel electrocatalytic system (E-Mn(II)-PMS) that can efficiently remove and degrade RB19. The synergistic effect between E, Mn(II), and PMS was verified in this study through comparative experiments of a wide variety of systems.
