ABSTRACT
Wastewater arising from manganese phosphate coating contains plenty of biogenic compounds,
heavy metals such as nickel, iron, manganese, and therefore also constitutes a serious threat to the
environment. The combined method of removing pollutants from wastewater from manganese phosphate
coating consisting of coagulation, ozonation and Fenton reaction allowed to reduce biogenic pollutants
and remove heavy metals. Coagulation was performed with iron(III) chloride and Flopam AN 934 SHU
flocculant. The Fenton reaction was performed in two combinations with and without the addition of
iron(III) salt. Ozonation was carried out in a column with an ozone generator, and wastewater was
treated in the following sequence: coagulation-ozonation-Fenton reaction. The results of experiments
demonstrated that the use of combined methods of coagulation, ozonation and Fenton reaction have
brought the expected outturns. As a result of using the Fenton reaction, the content of nitrates(V) was
lowered from 13.0 mg/l to 0.012 mg/l. Physico-chemical analyses of wastewater were performed using
UV-VIS molecular spectrophotometry.
