Enhanced Cr(VI) removal using zero-valent manganese nanoparticles

This study demonstrates that zero-valent manganese nanoparticles (ZVMn) effectively remove hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions and electroplating wastewater through a self-enhanced mechanism involving in situ corrosion, surface reconstruction into a high-surface-area manganese oxide/hydroxide shell, and a coupled pathway of electrostatic attraction, redox transformation, and precipitation.
