To assess the effectiveness and underlying mechanism of pulse-alternating current coagulation (PACC) for treating manganese-laden wastewater, we examined the influence of various parameters. Specifically, we investigated the impact of current density, initial pH, initial Mn2+ concentration, electrolyte concentration, and alternating current frequency on the removal efficacy. The removal mechanism was meticulously examined using an adsorption kinetics analysis, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrum (FTIR), and X-ray Photoel...
