INTRODUCTION
1.1 Water situation in general
Water is one of the world‟s most essential demands for human life, and the
origin of all animal and plant life on the planet. Civilization would be impossible
without steady supply of fresh and pure water and it has been considered a
plentiful natural resource because the sensitive hydrosphere covers about 75% of
the Earth's surface. Its total water content is distributed among the main
components of the atmosphere, the biosphere, oceans and continents. However,97% of the Earth's water is salty ocean water, which is unusable for most human
activities. Much of the remaining 3% of the total global water resource, which is
fresh-water, is locked away in glaciers and icebergs. Approximately 20% of the
freshwater resources are found as groundwater, and only 1% is thought to be
easily accessible surface water located in biomass, rivers, lakes, soil moisture,
and distributed in the atmosphere as water vapor. [1]
In the process of rapid development of science and technology, the demand for
pure water is increasing to serve multifarious purposes in different types of
industries. Global water consumption raised six folds in the past century, double
the rate of population growth. In addition, the boom in world‟s population during
recent decades, has contributed to the dramatically rising demand of pure water
usage for both household and industrial purposes. The high population density
and industrialization speed have triggered the hydrosphere to be polluted with
inorganic and organic matters at a considerable rate. Moreover, to satisfy the
food demand, a number of harmful chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides

are used in order to improve the productivity in agricultural production, which
also causes the scarcity of clean resources. [1]
The contamination of ground water (mostly by toxic metal ions due to both
natural and anthropogenic reasons) is also one of concerning issues on clean
water. It is necessary to assess the quality of water used in industry, household
activities and drinking purpose. Understanding of the importance of clean water
in human life, many countries has gradually adjusted their environmental
regulations more stringently to reserve clean water resources. With the purpose
of overcoming the water pollution problems, and to meet the stricterenvironmental regulations, scientists and researchers have focused on improving
exist water purification processes and approaching to alternative water treatment
technologies as well, so as to increase the efficiency of those decontamination
methods. It is surveyed that human awareness about the seriousness of water
pollution has enhanced over the world. People have also started realizing that
water is not an unlimited resource, hence it needs to be protected and smartly
used.
An ideal water treatment process should have the capability to mineralize
completely all the toxic organic components without leaving behind any harmful
by-products and to recover all toxic metals from wastewater. In broader
classification, biological, mechanical, thermal, chemical or physical treatments,
or their combinations may be applied to purify contaminated water. The choice
of the proper water treatment processes depend on the nature of the pollutants
presenting in water, and on the acceptable contamination level in treated water.
There are two main purposes of water treatment study – the reduction of
contaminant level in the discharged stream to meet environmental standards, and

the purification of water to ultrapure water in order to be able to use in
semiconductor, microelectronic and pharmaceutical industries. Moreover, the
cost or effectiveness of the water treatment processes also plays a significant role
in choosing a particular one. Biodegradation, adsorption in activated carbon, air
stripping, incineration, ion-exchange, coagulation-precipitation, membrane
separation, thermal and catalytic oxidation, oxidation by permanganate, chlorine,
ozone and hydrogen peroxide are widely applied in conventional water treatment
processes for organic and inorganic pollutant containing water. Besides
advantages, each process has their own shortcomings which are being improvedgradually via new technologies. [1, 2]
1.2 Water sterilization
Water sterilization technology is useful in various ways for our daily life. For
example, it is used in water and sewerage systems treatment. Methods
commonly used for sterilization include chemicals, heat, ultraviolet (UV)
radiation, and ozone. Chemicals (chlorine, peroxide, etc.) are utilized extensively
for sterilization because of their simplicity; however, they probably form
unexpected effects, such as modifying the quality of the target. In addition,
sterilization by chlorine usually generates odorous substances and bio-hazardous
materials. [2]
It is not totally accurate to assess whether water is of an appropriate quality only
by visual examination. Simple procedures such as boiling or the use of a
household activated carbon filter are not sufficient for treating all the possible
contaminants that maybe present in water from an unknown source. Even natural
spring water – considered safe for all practical purposes in the 1800s – must now
be tested before determining what kind of treatment, if any, is needed. Chemical

analysis, while expensive, is the only way to obtain the information necessary for
deciding on the appropriate method of purification. [3]
Simple techniques for treating water at home, such as chlorination, filters, and
solar disinfection, and storing it in safe containers could save a huge number of
lives each year.
Sterilization is accomplished both by filtering out harmful microbes by and also
adding disinfectant chemicals in the last step in purifying drinking water. Water
is disinfected to kill any pathogens which pass through the filters. Possible
pathogens include viruses, bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Campylobacter and Shigella, and protozoa, including Giardia lamblia and other cryptosporidia.
In most developed countries, public water supplies are required to maintain a
residual disinfecting agent throughout the distribution system, in which water
may remain for days before reaching the consumer. Following the introduction
of any chemical disinfecting agent, water is usually held in temporary storage -
often called a contact tank or clear well to allow the disinfecting action to
complete. [4]
1.2.1 Boi li ng
Boiling is an easy, cheap and common way to eliminate contaminations and
microorganisms in developing countries, but this method is only practical for
small amounts. When the water has boiled for 5 – 10 min all the pathogens have
been killed and the water is safe to drink. [2]
The main disadvantage of this method is that it requires a continuous source of
heat and appropriate equipment.

1.2.2 Chlor ine
Chlorine is most effective against pathogens and not as much for turbidity; it will
function relatively effectively up to 20 NTU [2]. If chlorine were combined with
other methods such as rapid sand filtration the turbidity would decrease.
Chlorine Bleach can be used to purify water with the dosage of 1 part of bleach
and 10 parts of water and wait for 30 min, or longer if the solution still looks
cloudy [3]. It is important to note that chlorine bleach does not kill
Cryptosporidium and may not kill Giardia, a pathogen and a parasite that both
give diarrheal diseases [5]. It is difficult to determine the correct chlorine dosage,too much gives an unpleasant taste and people will be reluctant to drink it, but a
too small dosage will not kill the germs [4].
The drawback of this method is that it the storage of chlorine and its use must
need careful handling, large chlorine residual may cause bad taste.
1.2.3. Ozone
Ozone (O3) is an unstable molecule which readily gives up one atom of oxygen
providing a powerful oxidizing agent which is toxic to most waterborne
organisms. It is a very strong, broad spectrum disinfectant that is widely used in
Europe. It is an effective method to inactivate harmful protozoa that form cysts.
It also works well against almost all other pathogens. Ozone is made by passing
oxygen through ultraviolet light or a "cold" electrical discharge. To use ozone as
a disinfectant, it must be created on-site and added to the water by bubble
contact. Some of the advantages of ozone include the production of fewer
dangerous by-products (in comparison to chlorination) and the lack of taste and
odor produced by ozonization. Although fewer by-products are formed by
ozonation, it has been discovered that the use of ozone produces a small amount

Chapter 1: Introduction

of the suspected carcinogen bromate, although little bromine should be present in
treated water. Another of the main disadvantages of ozone is that it leaves no
disinfectant residual in the water. Ozone has been used in drinking water plants
since 1906 where the first industrial ozonation plant was built in Nice, France.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted ozone as being safe; and it
is applied as an anti-microbiological agent for the treatment, storage, and
processing of foods. [6]
The disadvantage of this method is the high cost for operation.
1.2.4 Ul traviolet lightUltraviolet light is very effective at inactivating cysts, as long as the water has a
low level of colour so the UV can pass through without being absorbed.
Ultraviolet light works against viruses, bacteria, pathogens and other potentially
harmful particles by modifying and even destroying their nucleic acids and
disrupting their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). When employed in a UV filter,
UV light can have two effects on these microorganisms. It can either eliminate
their ability to reproduce, or can kill them outright, a more desirable outcome
where water purification is concerned.
The main disadvantage to the use of UV radiation is that, like ozone treatment, it
leaves no residual disinfectant in the water. Because neither ozone nor UV
radiation leaves a residual disinfectant in the water, it is sometimes necessary to
add a residual disinfectant after they are used. This is often done through the
addition of chloramines, discussed above as a primary disinfectant. When used
in this manner, chloramines provide an effective residual disinfectant with very
few of the negative aspects of chlorination. [6]

Chapter 1: Introduction
7
The main disadvantages of this methods is the low efficiency and the dependent
on water turbidity.
1.2.5 Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) works in a similar way to ozone. Activators such as
formic acid are often added to increase the efficacy of disinfection. It has the
disadvantages that it is slow-working, phytotoxic in high dosage, and decreases
the pH of the water it purifies. [6]
1.2.6 Solar disinfection
One low-cost method of disinfecting water that can often be implemented withlocally available materials is solar disinfection (SODIS). It partially relies on the
ultraviolet radiation that is part of sunlight. Unlike methods that rely on
firewood, it has low impact on the environment. [6]
1.2.7 Photocatalysis on semiconductors
The processes of heterogeneous photocatalysis on semiconductors, developed
during the last twenty years, were firstly regarded as potential methods for
hydrogen photoproduction from water. However, even at the very beginning of
their development, some papers appeared which dealt with photooxidation of
organic and some inorganic (e.g. CN- ions) compounds. For more than ten years
the interest of scientists has turned into application of the heterogeneous
photocatalytic methods to water detoxification. [6]
1.2.8 H igh speed water ster il ization using one-dimensional nanostructures
One-dimensional nanostructures have been extensively explored for a variety of
applications in electronics, energy and photonics. Most of these applications
involve coating or growing the nanostructures on flat substrates with
architectures inspired by thin film devices. It is possible, however, to make

complicated three-dimensional mats and coatings of metallic and
semiconducting nanowires, as has been recently demonstrated in the cases of
superwetting nanowire membranes and carbon nanotube (CNT) treated textiles
and filters. Silver nanowires‟ (AgNWs) and CNTs‟ have unique ability to form
complex multiscale coatings on cotton to produce an electrically conducting and
high surface area device for the active, high-throughput inactivation of bacteria
in water. [6]
1.3 Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is the science of the small; the very small. It is the use andmanipulation of matter at a tiny scale. At this size, atoms and molecules work
differently, and provide a variety of surprising and interesting uses.
The prefix of nanotechnology derives from „nanos‟ – the Greek word for dwarf.
A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, or to put it comparatively, about 1/80,000
of the diameter of a human hair. Nanotechnology should not be viewed as a
single technique that only affects specific areas. It is more of a „catch -all‟ term
for a science which is benefiting a whole array of areas, from the environment, to
healthcare, to hundreds of commercial products.
Although often referred to as the 'tiny science', nanotechnology does not simply
mean very small structures and products. Nanoscale features are often
incorporated into bulk materials and large surfaces.
Nanotechnology is already in many of the everyday objects around us, but this is
only the start. It will allow limitations in many existing technologies to be
overcome and thus has the potential to be part of every industry:
Health and medicine - With advances in diagnostic technologies, doctors will
be able to give patients complete health checks quickly and routinely. If any

medication is required this will be tailored specifically to the individual based on
their genetic makeup, thus preventing unwanted side-effects. As a result, the
health system will become preventative rather than curative.
Society and the environment - Renewable energy will become the norm. For
example, solar cells based on quantum dots could be as much as 85% efficient.
Wind, wave, and geothermal energy will also be tapped more effectively using
new materials and stored or delivered more efficiently through advances in
batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. New ambient sensor systems will allow us to
monitor our effect on the environment and take immediate action, rather than“waiting to see”. Nanotechnology will also help us clean up existing pollution
and make better use of the resources available to us.
New materials - Nanomaterials such as quantum dots, carbon nanotubes and
fullerenes will have applications in many different sectors because of their new
properties. So quantum dots can be used in solar cells, but also in
optoelectronics, and as imaging agents in medical diagnostics. Carbon nanotubes
can be used in displays, as electronic connectors, as strengthening materials for
polymer composites, and even as nanoscale drug dispensors. Fullerenes can be
used in cosmetics, as “containers” for the delivery of drugs, in medical
diagnostics, and even as nanoscale lubricants.

Figure 1: Nanoscale materials
Nanoscale materials and devices hold great promise for advanced diagnostics,
sensors, targeted drug delivery, smart drugs, screening and novel cellular
therapies. [7]
The future of nanotechnology has great potential. However, it also has the
potential to change society more than the industrial revolution. It will affect
everyone and so should be developed for everyone.
1.4 Manganese dioxide
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) occurs naturally as the mineral pyrolusite, which is
the main ore of manganese and a component of manganese nodules.
In the past decades, Manganese dioxide have been exploited for heavy metal
removal from aqueous media, i.e., heavy metal ions [8], arsenate [9], and
phosphate [10] from natural water has attracted considerable attention, because it
would significantly mediate the fate and the mobility of the target pollutants in
water [11, 12]. For example, Kanungo et al. [12] and Kanungo et al. [13] studied
8/20/2019 Evaluation of sterilization possibility in water environment of activated nano Mno2 coated on calcined laterite

the sorption of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) ions on manganese dioxide
particles in the presence of different electrolytes. They found that these toxic
metals can be effectively trapped by manganese dioxide through electrostatic
forces and formation of inner-sphere complexes. The specific properties of
manganese dioxide render it a potential sorbent for heavy metal ion removal
from contaminated water.
Manganese dioxide has high oxidation potential so it can disrupt the integrity of
the bacterial cell envelope through oxidation (similar with Ozone, Chlorine…).
1.5 LateriteLaterites are residual products, which are formed during prolonged mechanical
and chemical weathering of ultramafic bedrocks at the surface of the earth [14].
It was found that laterite‟s profiles depend on the conditions of weathering
intensities, geotectonic zones and the parent rock‟s compositions. Laterite is used
to describe soils, ferruginous materials, weathering profiles, and chemical
compositions, which are based on SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 [15]. Laterite is
categorized as soil which contains up to 60.3% iron [16] and is available in many
tropical regions, such as India, Vietnam, Philippines and China [17-19].
Furthermore, laterite adsorbs other ion and heavy metals, such as fluoride (F),
cesium (Cs), mercury (Hg II) and lead (Pb) [20-22]; in water treatment, laterite
has been found to be effective and feasible as an adsorbent in removing some
heavy metals in contaminated groundwater.
When laterite heated to 420-900oC, the removal capacity is even better.
Expanded laterite has special properties such as high porosity (and consequently,
low density), it is chemically rather inert, non-toxic, thus it can be used as
excellent filter aid and as a filler in various processes and materials.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Because of it low specific surface area and acidic surface, expanded laterite was
found to be of limited use as an adsorbent for bacterial removal on its own, but it
can be utilized as an appropriate carrier material. On the other hand,
nanoparticles MnO2 have a large surface area and high oxidation potential which
make them excellent candidates for the bacterial removal in general.

OBJECTIVES AND RESEARCH METHODS
2.1 Objectives
When materials possess nanoparticle size, they will have special
properties in chemical, physical, adsorption and electrode, etc. Therefore, the
research objectives are addressed as follows:
- To synthesize MnO2 nanoparticles coated on calcined laterite;
- Analyzing of MnO2 nanoparticles formation portion and its physical structure;
- To investigate the sterilization possibilities of created material;- To examine the mechanism of sterilization of MnO2 coated on calcined laterite
in water.
2.2 Materials and Research methods
2.2.1 Mater ial and instruments
All chemicals were reagent grade and they were used without further
purification. Laterite ore was taken from coal and baked at 900oC. Potassium
permanganate (KMnO4), ethanol, sodium hydroxide (NaOH, 98%), and
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were made in China. Agar was purchased from Ha
Long company, endo agar from Merck. Petri disks, distilled water and others
instruments which were used in the experiment, taken from Faculty of Chemistry
lab equipment.
For structural characterization, the samples were taken to use Transmission
Electron Microscopy (TEM) operated at 80kV. Surface analysis was done using
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) (Hitachi S-4800) in National Institute of
Hygiene and Epidemiology.

2.2.2 Research methods
2.2.2.1 Synthesis of nano MnO2 adsorbents
According to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [23], particles are
classified regarding to size: in term of diameter, coarse particles cover a range
between 10,000 and 2,500 nanometers. Fine particles are size between 2,500 and
100 nanometers. Ultrafine particles, or nanoparticles are sized between 100 and
1 nanometers. Therefore, our goal is to create particles which have the size
between 100 and 1 nanometers.
The MnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using potassium permanganate(KMnO4) as a precursor using a slight modification of method [24] in the
following way: stirring vigorously a 100ml water:ethanol (1:1, v/v) solution
using magnetic stirrer at room temperature for 10 min, and then the solution was
added 5ml of KMnO4 0.05M, stirring steady then put slowly H2O2 until brown
black color appears (around 10ml H2O2 10%). Finally, colloidal nano MnO2
solution was taken for analyzing of nanoparticles formation portion and coating
on calcined laterite.
To synthesize laterite/MnO2, the dried calcined laterite, which was grained with
size of 0.1 – 0.5 mm diameter, was poured into MnO2 nanoparticles solution
with the volumetric portion of solid and liquid was 1/1. The soaking time was 8
to 24 hours. Then the liquid phase was drained off. Solid phase was washed out
of dissolved ions and dried to get bacterial removing material (BRM).
2.2.2.2 Structural characterization
For structural characterization, the samples were taken to use Transmission
Electron Microscopy (TEM) operated at 80kV. TEM is a microscopy technique
whereby a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra thin specimen,

interacting with the specimen as it passes through. An image is formed from the
interaction of the electrons transmitted through the specimen; the image is
magnified and focused onto an imaging device, such as a fluorescent screen, on a
layer of photographic film, or to be detected by a sensor. [25]
Surface analysis was done using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The
SEM uses a focused beam of high-energy electrons to generate a variety of
signals at the surface of solid specimens. The signals that derive from electron-
sample interactions reveal information about the sample. [26]
2.2.2.3 Investigation of sterilizing capability of nano MnO2 adsorbentsThe routine monitoring of the bacteriological quality of drinking water relies on
the use of the indicator organisms Escherichia coli (E. coli) and coliforms which
are used to indicate fecal contamination or other water quality problems such as
failures of disinfection, bacterial regrowth within the distribution system or
ingress.
The most commonly employed technique for the detection of these organisms in
water is membrane filtration. Normally, water (100ml) is concentrated by
membrane filtration and the membranes placed onto a selective and differential
medium such as Endo agar [27] which inhibits the growth of gram positive
bacteria. Appropriately diluted (10-2) sample (100mL in volume) volumes were
filtered through 0.45µm membrane filters. Plates were then incubated for 24h at
37oC on endo agar for total coliform.
The bacteria number was determined in initial water sample and followed the
time of sterilizing process.

The experiments were performed in the static condition as well as the dynamic
condition to estimate the sterilizing capability of MnO2 nanoparticles.
Specifically, contact time and the ratio between material and water sample were
chosen as fundamental parameters. Therefore, other parameters which affect the
alteration of contact time and the ratio between material and polluted water
sample, such as the column height, the flow rate, etc in the dynamic condition,
were taken into consideration.
2.2.2.4 Examine the mechanism of sterilization of MnO2 coated on calcined
laterite in waterThere are two main purposes in this part: One is to examine whether the
mechanism of sterilization of MnO2 coated on calcined laterite is influenced by
the high oxidation potential of MnO2. The other is to survey the effects of Mn2+
on sterilizing process of MnO2 by changing the concentration of Mn2+.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Synthesis of nano MnO2 adsorbents
Working solution of MnO2 nanoparticles was prepared by stirring solution of
50ml distilled water and 50ml ethanol. Afterwards, the solution was added 5ml
KMnO4 0.05M, stirring steadily then dropped slowly H2O2 solution into the
solution until brown black color appears (around 10ml H2O2 10%). The
experiment product, colloidal nano MnO2 solution, was taken for analyzing of
nanoparticles size and formation portion by Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM).
The dried calcined laterite grains with size of 0.1 – 0.5 mm diameter were
poured into nanosilver solution. The volumetric portion of solid and liquid was
1:1. The soaking time was from 8 to 24 hours. Then the liquid phase was drained
off. Solid phase was washed out of dissolved ions and dried to get bacterial
removing material (BRM). The surface of solid phase was characterized using
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to obtain information on its physical
structure.
Consequently, the coating process was carried out as shown in Figure 3.

On SEM images in the same scale, it is easy to recognize different surface
pictures of the material before and after coating MnO2 nanoparticles. Before
coating, the surface of laterite was quite smooth; but after coating there were
nanoparticles of MnO2 in barbed sphere shape distributed tight all over laterite
surface.

The clinging of MnO2 nanoparticles on calcined laterite surface was recognized
for application purpose, but the essence of this phenomenon was not determined
so far. There may were any chemical bond, what was binding energy, was there
reformation of nanoparticles or inactivation, etc. That confusion should be
investigated in following time.
3.2 Investigation of sterilizing capability of nano manganese dioxide
In this research, total coliform was chosen as indicating bacteria for all bacterial
removing investigation. The bacteria number was determined in the initial water
sample and followed the time of sterilizing process.
Static and dynamic condition were chosen to conduct the experiments.

3.2.1 Investigation in static condition
3.2.1.1 Influence of detention time on bacteria sterilizing
Detention time is an important parameter to determine the sterilizing ability. In
this experiment, the raw water was treated, diluted then the material is poured
into polluted water in conical beakers with the phase ratio of
solid:liquid=2g:100ml (BRM:polluted water). Next, they are shaken up by
shaking table. The time increased along the row of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
minutes. Afterwards, all the samples are filtered and determined the bacteria
amount. The results are shown in Table 1, Figure 11-12.Table 1: Influence of contact time on bacteria sterilizing

Figure 12: Samples in contact time’s influence experiment
Figure 12 shows that when the detention time is lower than 30 minutes, the
bacteria do not have enough time to approach to BRM, so the efficiency would
be undesirable (56 and 28). If the detention time is longer than 30 minutes, all
bacteria would contact to the BRM and be killed. Therefore, the optimal
detection time is 30 minute.3.2.1.2 Influence of the ratio of BRM and water on bacteria sterilizing
The ratio of BRM and water is important parameter since it represents the
effectiveness of the materials. Moreover, if the ratio is low, this may indicate that
the BRM consumption is small and we can save material. At this experiments,
the detention time was chosen as previous result. And the ratio of BRM/polluted
water increased along the row 0.25/100, 0.5/100, 1/100, 1.5/100, 2/100 g/mL.
The results of experiments are shown in Table 2, Figure 13-14.

Figure 14: Samples in BRM/water ratio’s influence experiment
In the first sample, the bacteria colony number is very high (154) at the ratio of
0.25/100. When the ratio increases to 0.5/100, the bacteria number decreases
dramatically to 21. This happens as the amount of BRM in the second sample is
higher than that of the first one, which leads to more chances for bacteria to
contacting with BRM. Figure 14 shows the optimal amount of BRM is 1.5g per
100ml water.
3.2.2 Investigation in dynamic condi tion
The parameters such as flow rate and the height of BRM column were tested to
see their influence on the sterilizing capability.
3.2.2.1 Influence of flow rate on bacteria sterilizing in BRM column
The raw water was treated, diluted then transferred to a 2L tank. The flow rate
was controlled by input and output valves.
The flow rate of water column increased along the row of 1, 2.2, 2.8, 3, 4, 5
ml/min (0.18, 0.39, 0.5, 0.53, 0.71, 0.88 mL/min.cm2).
The diameter of column is 1.8cm; the height of material is 5cm.

If the flow rate is 0.53mL/min.cm2, the analysis result shows that there is still
12MPN/100ml available. Even the removal capacity increased remarkably, it

still did not meet the drinking water standard of Environmental Protection
Agency [28].
When the flow rate decreases to 0.5mL/min.cm2 or lower, the sterilizing
capability is complete.
Figure 17 indicates that the slower the flow rate is, the better sterilizing is
achieved. For the optimal flow rate, 0.5 mL/min.cm2 will be chosen for the next
experiments.

The height of material column increased along the row of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 cm.
The diameter of column is 1.8cm; the flow rate is 0.5ml/min.cm2.

effectively because of the insufficiency of contact time between bacteria and
MnO2 (the column height is not long enough).

If the height is 3cm, the analysis result shows that there is still 10MPN/100ml
available. Even the removal capacity increased remarkable but it still did not
meet the EPA drinking water standard [28].
When the height increases to 4cm or higher, the sterilizing capabilities is
completely.
It is apparent that the height of BRM column and the flow rate of water strongly
influence the sterilizing ability. The sterilizing ability of column increases along
with the increase of the BRM layer height. In contrast, it decreases when the
flow rate increases.At current time, in many published reports, authors used parameter EBCT
(Empty Batch Contact Time) for characterization of both of column filter
parameters above.
EBCT = =
From the results, V = πR 2h = 3.14 x 0.92 x 4 = 10.17 cm3
q = 2.8 mL/min
So EBCT = = 3.63 mins
In the case of the investigation, the minimum EBCT for safely bacterial
sterilizing is 3.63 min.
3.3 Mechanism of sterilization of MnO2 coated on calcined laterite in water

The experiment was performed to analysis the influence of Mn2+ on water
sterilizing capability of MnO2 nanoparticles.
The four different concentrations which are ranging 0.1, 1 and 10 ppm of Mn2+
were put into water samples with the available of MnO2 nanoparticles material.

The processes were conducted in static condition (100mL waste water was
treated by 0.5g BRM; contact time was 10 minutes; initial MPN in wastewater
was 380). The results are shown in Table 5, Figure 20-21.

Figure 21: Influence of Mn2+ in sterilizing capabilities
Figure 21 illustrates that the Mn2+ added in samples affects dramatically on the
sterilizing capability, from 60 MPN/100ml of no Mn2+ to 0 MPN/100ml of
10ppm Mn2+.
Consequently, MnO2 added Mn2+ have better sterilization possibility than MnO2
itself. In other words, ion manganese (II) has been shown to have effects on thesterilizing capability of BRM.
3.3.2 Examine the mechanism of ster il ization of M nO 2
The mechanism of MnO2 for bacterial removal is still unclear. Therefore, a
mechanism of the process was proposed as follows:
1. MnO2 attached (attacks) on bacteria cell as Figure 22:

Figure 1: Bacteria destruction
- A healthy bacillus bacterial cell.
- Zooming in closer, MnO2 (light green) comes into contact with the cell
wall. The cell wall is vital to the bacteria because it ensures the organism can
maintain its shape.
- As MnO2 molecules make contact with the cell wall, a reaction called an
oxidative burst occurs which literally creates a tiny hole in the cell wall.
- A new hole created in the cell wall has injured the bacterium.
- The bacterium begins to lose its shape while MnO2 molecules continuecreating holes in the cell wall.
- After thousands of MnO2 collisions over only a few seconds, the bacterial
wall can no longer maintain its shape and the cell dies.
2. As can be seen from the previous results, ion manganese (II) has been
shown to have effects on the sterilizing capability of BRM. Therefore, the
mechanism could be as follow:
MnO2 + Mn2+ → [MnO2 .Mn]2+ (1)
[MnO2 .Mn]2+ + nO2 → [MnO2.Mn].nO2 (2)
[MnO2 .Mn].nO2 → 2MnO2 + (n-1)O2 (3)

Disintegration process of semi-product [MnO2.Mn].nO2 appeared trivalent
or/and pentavalent Mn – high oxidation potential and very active species. These
species play as strong sterilization substances.
Therefore, in some circumstances, some raw water resources with Mn2+
pollution will have better performance in treating by nano MnO2 adsorbent.

CONCLUSION
- The nano MnO2 solution was prepared as 2.2.2.1. The TEM images of solution
clearly reveal the presence of a large quantity of MnO2 nanoparticles with
lozenge shape and barked sphere with the diameters around 30nm.
- The BRM was prepared from calcined laterite and nano MnO2 solution. The
SEM images of material‟s surface shows the distribution of barked sphere
shaped nano MnO2 all over laterite surface.- Sterilizing possibilities is under the static condition was studied. The detention
time selected is 30 minute, and the preferable ratio of BRM/polluted water is
1.5g:100mL.
- Water can sterilize by means of use BRM as column filter. All bacteria in water
could safely exterminate when flowing through column filter with the minimum
layer height of BRM 4cm and the maximum flow rate 0.5ml/min.cm2 or EBCT
was guaranteed at least 3.6 minutes. Both MnO2 nanoparticles solution and BRM
were non toxic and economic, so they have a high potential to be applied for
water sterilizing in water plants as well as at household scale.
- Ion manganese (II) affects the sterilizing capability of BRM. It reacts with
MnO2 to create semi-products [MnO2.Mn].nO2 which play as strong sterilization
substances.
- The research obtains some positive results in creating a new material for
wastewater sterilization, which may account for the global effort of saving clean
water resources – which is currently one of the most concerning issues not only
in Vietnam but also in other countries. However, in order to apply those study
