Abstract: Potassium permanganate-modified bamboo biochar (MBB) was used to adsorb manganese from simulated groundwater and its performance was compared to that of unmodified bamboo biochar (BB), activated carbon, and manganese greensand. The adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and manganese fractions were investigated. The Langmuir model was the best fit for manganese adsorption by MBB and BB at the maximum adsorption capacities of 21.277 and 0.803 mg g −1 , respectively. The heat of adsorption from the Temkin model indicated that manganese adsorption occurs via an ion exchange process for MBB and a physical adsorption process for BB. The sequential extraction results revealed that manganese was strongly bound to the iron/manganese oxide fraction, in accordance with the chemical adsorption established in pseudo-second order kinetic data records.
