In this study, natural manganese oxides (MnO <i><sub>x</sub></i> ), an environmental material with high redox potential, were used as a promising low-cost oxidant to degrade the widely used dyestuff methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. Although the surface area of MnO <i><sub>x</sub></i> was only 7.17 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>-1</sup>, it performed well in the degradation of MB with a removal percentage of 85.6% at pH 4. It was found that MB was chemically degraded in a low-pH reaction system and ...[more]
