Manganese Dioxide Coating for Rapid Sand Filters
Short Product Description
Manganese Dioxide Coating for Rapid Sand Filters is a high-activity MnO₂ surface-modified filtration media designed for oxidation and removal of iron and manganese in pressurized water treatment systems. MnO₂ content typically ranges from 60–85%, providing strong catalytic performance in municipal and industrial rapid sand filters. Suitable for potable water plants and groundwater treatment facilities.
