Mineralization of organics in hazardous waste sulfuric acid by natural manganese oxide ore and a combined MnO2/activated carbon treatment to produce qualified manganese sulfate

To effectively dispose and utilize the hazardous waste H2SO4 generated from alkylation, an environmentally friendly and feasible technology for the simultaneous oxidative degradation of organics and consumption of H2SO4 was developed. Pyrolusite, a natural manganese oxide ore, was used for the oxidative degradation and mineralization of the organics, and reduction leaching of Mn from the pyrolusite occurred simultaneously. The total organic...
