Chlorine does not provide better oxidation of manganese than oxygen at a ph 9 5.
Manganese dioxide water filtration.
However these same filtration mixes can be used ph 8 as catalysts when oxidising mn 2 using chlorine occasionally after sedimentation and an initial filtration in an acid medium for the purpose of removing om case of some soft and coloured surface water.
Manganese dioxide is a natural filter media that effectively removes iron manganese and sulfur odor from well water.
Although different filter media have different requirements in most cases a ph greater than 8 is need for effective manganese removal.
To remove manganese from water with a filter a high ph reading and a sufficient oxygen content are necessary to ensure precipitation.

These are the limits.
The solid manganese dioxide is the gold standard for iron filtration media as the media lasts for many years often 15 to 20 years and these systems can filter the water at a faster rate.
Removing manganese with a filter.
Ph 5 9 best at ph higher than 6 5 hydrogen sulfide 10 mg l iron 10 mg l manganese 8 mg l.
According to the laboratory test made the berkey products have the ability to remove greater than 99 9 of the manganese.
Proox media is a solid manganese dioxide media whereas most iron filter media use a thin coating of manganese dioxide over some other type of filter media.
What are the limits of removal by pyrolox.
Oxidation manganese dioxide coated media filtration filtration using manganese dioxide coated and ore type catalytic media such as manganese greensand has historically been used for iron and man ganese removal.
The berkey water filter system has been proved and tested to remove heavy metal contaminants such as aluminum arsenic lead iron and manganese.
Are there any impurities that are a problem for the operation of pyrolox.
Pyrolox is a natural mineral form of manganese dioxide making it an environmentally sound means of water filtration.
Anthracite filter glauconite manganese dioxide coated sand media or manganese dioxide ore.
