Abstract
Aimed at the problem of excessive concentration of Fe2+ and Mn2+ in acidic mining wastewater during mining and utilization, a new rapid oxidative removal technology of Fe2+ and Mn2+ by a new-type biofilter system was designed and tested. The new-type biofilter system was constructed using a bioreactor filled with special mature bioceramic pellets after continuous biofilm cultivation as the filter layers. The results indicated that the biofilter system could efficiently treat five times its volume of wastewater per hour. The Fe2+ concentration of the influent wastewater was about 500 mg/L, and its Mn2+ concentration was about 20 mg/L. The average Fe2+ and Mn2+ removal rates could reach 99.7
