Ferrolite and zeolite combination in reduction of iron and manganese metals in groundwater

Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) levels are important parameter components in terms of clean water criteria. Metal processing home industry activities have the potential for heavy metal contamination in groundwater. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of flow rates on decreasing levels of ferrous metal (Fe) and manganese (Mn) using ferrolite and zeolite in groundwater using flow rates of 0.338 l / min and 3,380 l / min. It was concluded that the combination of ferrolite and zeolite treatment in groundwater can reduce Fe levels by 1,359 mg / l for a flowrate of 0.338 l / min, whereas for a flowrate of 3,380 l / min by 1,323 mg / l, and a decrease in Mn content for a discharge of 0,338 l / minute is 0.871 mg / l, while for debit 3,380 l / min is 0.735 mg / l.
