Abstract In order to apply the manganese (Mn) rich mud cake collected from underground water works to remove ammonium (NH4+-N) from water, the process of catalytic oxidation activity formation of mud cake (referred as activation) was optimized. The effectiveness and mechanism of NH4+-N removal by activated mud cake were investigated, and the actual operation effect of its coated filter media was examined. The results showed that the optimal conditions of activation were 1.5mg NH4+ and 0.5mg Mn2+ per gram of mud cake, and the maximum NH4+-N removal rate could reach 0.243mg/(g·h). The activated mud cake has developed a higher catalytic oxidation activity than the active film. The NH4+-N removal process by the activated mud cake followed the first-order power-law kinetic model. The activation energy of NH4+-N was 10.70kJ/mol between 298.15K and 318.15K. In the column experiment, when the influent NH4+-N concentration was 1.5mg/L, the start-up time of groundwater and tap water was 9 and 13d, and the maximum removal efficiency could reach 93.5% and 82.42%, respectively. The SEM, EDS, and XPS analyses revealed that the activation process resulted in the formation of abundant pores on the surface of the mud cake and the deposition of manganese oxide (MnOx). It was speculated that the removal of NH4+-N by activated mud cake was mainly through the autocatalytic oxidation of manganese to form MnOx, and then catalytic oxidation of NH4+-N to form nitrate, and finally removal by desorption. The activated mud cake does not contain pathogenic microorganisms such as E. coli and has no risk of heavy metal precipitation. It is an cost-effective, clean, and environmentally friendly water treatment material.
