In order to explore an efficient and clean conversion way of Ningdong coal, the chemical-looping reaction of Ningdong coal was conducted in a laboratory-scale fluidized-bed reactor using manganese ore as the oxygen carrier (OC), and the reaction characteristics were investigated in combination by thermogravimetric analysis. Experiments included the investigation of the reaction of the manganese ore with 5 vol % H and with coal powder at 900 °C, the catalytic and OC effect of manganese ore on coal gasification, the reaction efficiency and reaction products under different mass ratios of OC to coal (O/C), and the effect of multiple cycles on the reaction performance of the manganese ore. At 900 °C, the OC exhibited higher reactivity with coal syngas, significantly reducing the time of coal gasification (∼48% reduction). The manganese ore itself contained alkali metals, exhibiting a certain capacity for sulfur fixation, but the sulfur fixation was gradually weakened during multicycle experiments. The manganese ore did not exhibit any inhibition effect on NO emission. From the wear rate of the manganese ore during fluidized reaction, its service life could be deduced to be about 150 h. Hence, it is necessary to improve the strength of the manganese ore OC.

Four biofilm carriers including pyrite, manganese ore, ceramsite, and polyurethane sponge were used to construct microbial separators (MSs), while their performance in dual-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) was evaluated. Polyurethane sponge and pyrite were superior biofilm carriers for MSs. The dense biofilm on the polyurethane sponge provides MS with optimal barrier capacity against dissolved oxygen and chemical oxygen demand.

The problem of low carbon-nitrogen ratio (C/N) in wastewater is a major challenge for biological treatment, especially the complex pollution of ammonia nitrogen (NH-N), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and copper ions (Cu(II)). Herein, a strain of Pseudoxanthomonas sp. MA23 with manganese (Mn) reduction-coupled ammonia oxidation properties was isolated.

Vanadium (V(V)) and nitrate, as co-concomitant pollutants in water bodies, pose potential threats to the eco-environment and human health. This study was to reveal the feasibility of simultaneous removal of V(V) and nitrate in the series-wound vertical flow constructed wetlands (CWs) with iron ore (B-CWs)/manganese ore (C-CWs)-wood substrates. The results showed that B-CWs could achieve efficient V(V) and NO-N removal with the influent of 2 and 10 mg/L (V(V)/NO-N = 1:5), respectively.

In the current electrolytic manganese industry, iron separation and reuse from iron-rich manganese ore leachate (IRMOL) has become one of the most pressing challenges. This study aimed to investigate the optimal conditions for iron separation from IRMOL and to assess the economic and practical advantages of iron separation or removal in industrial manufacturing. To identify more cost-effective and technologically advanced production circumstances, we examined five key elements that weaken Fe(OH) colloidal production conditions in enterprises: reaction temperature, pH, crystal species, aging and reaction time.

Eutrophication has become one of the greatest threats to aquatic ecosystems. The release of phosphorus (P) from sediments exerts a critical role on eutrophication level. Both manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe), sensitive to redox conditions, own strong affinity for P.
