Description :
Manganese Greensand is formulated from a glauconite greensand which is capable of
reducing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from water through oxidation and
filtration. Soluble iron and manganese are oxidized and precipitated by contact with
higher oxides of manganese on the greensand granules. The hydrogen sulfide is
reduced by oxidation to an insoluble sulfur precipitate. Precipitates are then filtered and
removed by backwashing. When the oxidizing capacity power of the Manganese
Greensand bed is exhausted, the bed has to be regenerated with a weak potassium
permanganate (KMnO4) solution, thus restoring the oxidizing capacity of the bed. one
and a half parts to two ounces of potassium permanganate, in solution, per cubic foot of
Manganese Greensand is considered sufficient for normal regeneration. It is required to
vigorously backwash and regenerate the bed when it is placed in service and before its
oxidation capacity is totally exhausted. Operating the bed after oxidation capacity is
exhausted will reduce its service life and may cause staining.
