Hello All,
I'm a new guy here and I'll start with a brief into. I'm a mecahnical engineer working at a co that engineers industrial water purification systems. I've got a good grip on the fluid/mechanical aspect of my job, but I'm struggling with the chem.
Right now one of our systems tht we're working on will be using a greensand filter with KMnO4 dosed into the feed to regen the greensand media so it can continue to remove Fe and Mn. I'd like to understand this process thoroughly beginning with the chemical formula for what this reaction would look like. If anyone can help out with that it would be GREAT!!
What confuses me the most is why are you feeding KMnO4, which contains Mn into a filter used to remove Mn?
Many thanks for any info
