Role of low-molecular-weight organic compounds on photochemical formation of Mn(III)-ligands in aqueous systems: Implications for BPA removal. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 927:172468. [PMID: 38615762 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Aqueous trivalent manganese [Mn(III)], an important reactive intermediate, is ubiquitous in natural surface water containing humic acid (HA). However, the effect of low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on the formation, stability and reactivity of Mn(III) intermediate is still unknown. In this study, six LMWOAs, including oxalic acid (Oxa), salicylic acid (Sal), catechol (Cat), caffeic acid (Caf), gallic acid (Gal) and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), were selected to investigate the effects of LMWOAs on the degradation of BPA induced by in situ formed Mn(III)-L in the HA/Mn(II) system under light irradiation. The chromophoric constituents of HA could absorb light radiation and generate superoxide radical to promote the oxidation of Mn(II) to form Mn(III), which was further involved in transformation of BPA. Our results implied that different LMWOAs did significantly impact on Mn(III) production and its degradation of BPA due to their different functional group. EDTA, Oxa and Sal extensively increased the Mn(III) concentration from 50 to 100 μM compared to the system without LMWOAs, following the order of EDTA > Oxa > Sal, and also enhanced the degradation of BPA with the similar patterns. In contrast, Cat, Caf and Gal had an inhibitory effect on the formation of Mn(III), which is likely because they consumed the superoxide radicals generated from irradiated HA, resulting in the inhibition of Mn(II) oxidation and further BPA removal. The product identification and theoretical calculation indicated that a single electron transfer process occurred between Mn(III)-L and BPA, forming BPA radicals and subsequent self-coupling products. Our results demonstrated that the LMWOAs with different structures could alter the cycling process of Mn via complexation and redox reactions, which would provide new implications for the removal of organic pollutants in surface water.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high production volume chemical with potential estrogenic effects susceptible to abiotic degradation by MnO2. BPA transformation products and reaction mechanisms with MnO2 have been investigated, but detailed process understanding of Mn(III)-mediated degradation has not been attained. Rapid consumption of BPA occurred in batch reaction vessels with 1 mM Mn(III) and 63.9 ± 0.7% of 1.76 ± 0.02 μmol BPA was degraded in 1 hour at circumneutral pH. BPA was consumed at 1.86 ± 0.09-fold higher rates in vessels with synthetic MnO2 comprising approximately 13 mol% surface-associated Mn(III) versus surface-Mn(III)-free MnO2, and 10-35% of BPA transformation could be attributed to Mn(III) during the initial 10-min reaction phase. High-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HRMS/MS) analysis detected eight transformation intermediates in reactions with Mn(III), and quantum calculations proposed 14 BPA degradation products, nine of which had not been observed during MnO2-mediated BPA degradation, suggesting mechanistic differences between Mn(III)- versus MnO2-mediated BPA degradation. The findings demonstrate that both Mn(III) and Mn(IV) can effectively degrade BPA and indicate that surface-associated Mn(III) increases the reactivity of synthetic MnO2, offering opportunities for engineering more reactive oxidized Mn species for BPA removal.

Abstract
Methylmercury (MeHg) is a potent neurotoxin and has great adverse health impacts on humans. Organisms and sunlight-mediated demethylation are well-known detoxification pathways of MeHg, yet whether abiotic environmental components contribute to MeHg degradation remains poorly known. Here, we report that MeHg can be degraded by trivalent manganese (Mn(III)), a naturally occurring and widespread oxidant. We found that 28 ± 4% MeHg could be degraded by Mn(III) located on synthesized Mn dioxide (MnO2-x) surfaces during the reaction of 0.91 μg·L-1 MeHg and 5 g·L-1 mineral at an initial pH of 6.0 for 12 h in 10 mM NaNO3 at 25 °C. The presence of low-molecular-weight organic acids (e.g., oxalate and citrate) substantially enhances MeHg degradation by MnO2-x via the formation of soluble Mn(III)-ligand complexes, leading to the cleavage of the carbon-Hg bond. MeHg can also be degraded by reactions with Mn(III)-pyrophosphate complexes, with apparent degradation rate constants comparable to those by biotic and photolytic degradation. Thiol ligands (cysteine and glutathione) show negligible effects on MeHg demethylation by Mn(III). This research demonstrates potential roles of Mn(III) in degrading MeHg in natural environments, which may be further explored for remediating heavily polluted soils and engineered systems containing MeHg.

Activation of Bisulfite with Pyrophosphate-Complexed Mn(III) for Fast Oxidation of Organic Pollutants. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19159437.

Abstract
Aqueous complexes of Mn(III) ion with ligands exist in various aquatic systems and many stages of water treatment works, while HSO3− is a common reductant in water treatment. This study discloses that their encounter results in a process that oxidizes organic contaminants rapidly. Pyrophosphate (PP, a nonredox active ligand) was used to prepare the Mn(III) solution. An approximate 71% removal of carbamazepine (CBZ) was achieved by the Mn(III)/HSO3− process at pH 7.0 within 20 s, while negligible CBZ was degraded by Mn(III) or HSO3− alone. The reactive species responsible for pollutant abatement in the Mn(III)/HSO3− process were SO4•− and HO•. The treatment efficiency of the Mn(III)/HSO3− process is highly related to the dosage of HSO3− because HSO3− acted as both the radical scavenger and precursor. The reaction of Mn(III) with HSO3− follows second-order reaction kinetics and the second-order rate constants ranged from 7.5 × 103 to 17 M−1 s−1 under the reaction conditions of this study, suggesting that the Mn(III)/HSO3− process is an effective process for producing SO4•−. The pH and PP:Mn(III) ratio affect the reactivity of Mn(III) towards HSO3−. The water background constituents, such as Cl− and dissolved organic matter, induce considerable loss of the treatment efficiency in different ways.

Abstract
Functional material synthesis through biomineralization is effective and environmentally friendly. Biomineralized manganese (Mn) oxides are important for remediation and energy storage. Manganese(II) biomineralization is achieved by a diverse group of bacteria. We show that in the presence of oxygen the dissimilatory manganese-reducing bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 can oxidize Mn(II). The Mn(II) oxidation was accelerated with the increase in the initial Mn(II) concentration from 0.5 to 3 mM. The reaction was mainly associated with a cell-free filtrate, rather than the direct enzymatic oxidation or indirect oxidation by reactive oxygen species or macrocyclic siderophores. Instead, indirect oxidization of Mn(II) into soluble Mn(III) and bixbyite-like Mn2O3 via microbially produced extracellular ligands (molecular weights of 1-3 kDa) was identified. This work broadens our view about microbial Mn(II) oxidation and unveils the important roles of Shewanella species in the geochemical cycling of manganese.

Abstract
Soluble Mn(III)-L complexes appear to constitute a substantial portion of manganese (Mn) in many environments and serve as critical high-potential species for biogeochemical processes. However, the inherent reactivity and lability of these complexes-the same chemical characteristics that make them uniquely important in biogeochemistry-also make them incredibly difficult to measure. Here we present experimental results demonstrating the limits of common analytical methods used to quantify these complexes. The leucoberbelin-blue method is extremely useful for detecting many high-valent Mn species, but it is incompatible with the subset of Mn(III) complexes that rapidly decompose under low-pH conditions-a methodological requirement for the assay. The Cd-porphyrin method works well for measuring Mn(II) species, but it does not work for measuring Mn(III) species, because additional chemistry occurs that is inconsistent with the proposed reaction mechanism. In both cases, the behavior of Mn(III) species in these methods ultimately stems from inter- and intramolecular redox chemistry that curtails the use of these approaches as a reflection of ligand-binding strength. With growing appreciation for the importance of high-valent Mn species and their cycling in the environment, these results underscore the need for additional method development to enable quantifying such species rapidly and accurately in nature.

Abstract
Novel integration of adsorption followed by catalytic oxidation is expected to be more beneficial for higher Mn(II) removal performance. We prepared self-assembled 3D flower-like Mg(OH)2 coated on granular-sized polyurethane (namely FMHP) via hydrothermal method at 120 °C under a facile synthesis route. The optimized material, FMHP prepared with 7 g MgO and 20 g polyurethane (FMH0.35P), achieved up to 351.2 mg g-1 Mn(II) removal capacity by Langmuir isotherm model. Besides, FMHP exhibited high Mn(II) removal in a wide range of NaCl concentration (0~0.1 M) and pH 2-9. Notably, through consecutive kinetics, BET, XPS, XRD, FESEM, and TEM analyses, it was found that the MnOx layer grows in-situ via ion exchange with Mg(II) on FMHP and further boosts the Mn(II) removal via catalytic oxidation during the Mn(II) removal process. Further, column experiments revealed that the FMH0.35P exhibited superior Mn(II) removal capacities up to 135.9 mg g-1 and highly compatible treatment costs ($0.062 m-3) compared to conventional chemical processes. The granular-sized FMH0.35P prepared by economic precursors and simple synthesis route revealed a high potential for Mn(II) containing water treatment due to its high removal capacities and easy operation.

Oxidative transformation of emerging organic contaminants by aqueous permanganate: Kinetics, products, toxicity changes, and effects of manganese products. WATER RESEARCH 2021; 203:117513. [PMID: 34392042 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Permanganate (Mn(VII)) has been widely studied for removal of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) in water treatment and in situ chemical oxidation process. Studies on the reactive intermediate manganese products (e.g., Mn(III) and manganese dioxide (MnO2)) generated from Mn(VII) reduction by EOCs in recent decades shed new light on Mn(VII) oxidation process. The present work summarizes the latest research findings on Mn(VII) reactions with a wide range of EOCs (including phenols, olefins, and amines) in detailed aspects of reaction kinetics, oxidation products, and toxicity changes, along with special emphasis on the impacts of intermediate manganese products (mainly Mn(III) and MnO2) in-situ formed. Mn(VII) shows appreciable reactivities towards EOCs with apparent second-order rate constants (kapp) generally decrease in the order of olefins (kapp = 0.3 - 2.1 × 104 M-1s-1) > phenols (kapp = 0.03 - 460 M-1s-1) > amines (kapp = 3.5 × 10-3 - 305.3 M-1s-1) at neutral pH. Phenolic benzene ring (for phenols), (conjugated) double bond (for olefins), primary amine group and the N-containing heterocyclic ring (for amines) are the most reactive sites towards Mn(VII) oxidation, leading to the formation of products with different structures (e.g., hydroxylated, aldehyde, carbonyl, quinone-like, polymeric, ring-opening, nitroso/nitro and C-N cleavage products). Destruction of functional groups of EOCs (e.g., benzene ring, (conjugated) double bond, and N-containing heterocyclic) by Mn(VII) tends to decrease solution toxicity, while oxidation products with higher toxicity than parent EOCs (e.g., quinone-like products in the case of phenolic EOCs) are sometimes formed. Mn(III) stabilized by model or unknown ligands remarkably accelerates phenolic EOCs oxidation by Mn(VII) under acidic to neutral conditions, while MnO2 enhances the oxidation efficiency of phenolic and amine EOCs by Mn(VII) at acidic pH. The intermediate manganese products participate in Mn(VII) oxidation process most likely as both oxidants and catalysts with their generation/stability/reactivity affecting by the presence of NOM, ligand, cations, and anions in water matrices. This work presents the state-of-the-art findings on Mn(VII) oxidation of EOCs, especially highlights the significant roles of manganese products, which advances our understanding on Mn(VII) oxidation and its application in future water treatment processes.

[PMID: 33774358 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
In this study, manganese peroxidase (MnP) was applied to induce the in vitro oxidation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The results indicated that 87.04% of the SMX was transformed and followed first-order kinetics (kobs=0.438 h-1) within 6 h when 40 U L-1 of MnP was added. The reaction kinetics were investigated under different conditions, including pH, MnP activity, and H2O2 concentration. The active species Mn3+ was responsible for the oxidation of SMX, and the Mn3+ production rate was monitored to reveal the interaction among MnP, Mn3+, and SMX. By integrating the characterizations analysis of the MnP/H2O2 system with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process dominated the catalytic circle of MnP and the transformation of Mn3+. Additionally, possible oxidation pathways of SMX were proposed based on single-electron transfer mechanism, which primarily included the S-N bond cleavage, the C-S bond cleavage, and one electron loss without bond breakage. It was then transformed to hydrolysis, N-H oxidation, self-coupling, and carboxylic acid coupling products. This study provides insights into the atomic-level mechanism of MnP and the transformation pathways of sulfamethoxazole, which lays a significant foundation for the potential of MnP in wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
The effect of the novel composite material LiNbO3@Fe3O4 on the nitrate removal, and Mn2+ oxidation efficiency by autotrophic denitrification strain Achromobacter sp. A14 was investigated in this study. The optimum conditions were tested by using five levels of initial Mn2+ concentrations (40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 mg/L), initial pH (5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0) and temperature (20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°C). A maximal nitrate removal ratio of nearly 100% and a maximal Mn2+ oxidation ratio of 71.59% were simultaneously achieved at pH 7.0, 80 mg/L Mn2+ and 30°C by bacteria A14 with 300 mg/L LiNbO3@Fe3O4 as catalytic material. Biomaterial cycle testing indicated that the denitrification efficiency of bacteria A14 with LiNbO3@Fe3O4 remained steady after 10 batches.

Abstract
Birnessite not only oxidizes arsenite into arsenate but also interacts with organic matter in various ways. However, effects of organic matter on interaction between As and birnessite remain unclear. This study investigated effects of citrate and EDTA (3.12 and 2.05 mM, respectively) on oxidation of As(III) (1.07 mM) and adsorption of As(V) (0.67 mM) on birnessite (5.19 mM as Mn) at near-neutral pH. We found that As(V) adsorption on birnessite was enhanced by citrate and EDTA, which resulted from the increase in active adsorption sites via dissolution of birnessite. In comparison with citrate batches, more As was adsorbed on birnessite in EDTA batches, where dissolved Mn was mainly presented as Mn(III)-EDTA complex. Citrate or EDTA-induced dissolution of birnessite did not decrease the As(III) oxidation rate in the initial stage where As(III) oxidation rate was rapid. Afterwards, As(III) oxidation was conspicuously suppressed in citrate-amended batches, which was mainly attributed to the decrease in adsorption sites by adsorption of citrate/Mn(II)-citrate complex. This suppression was enhanced by the increase in concentrations of dissolved Mn(II). Citrate inhibited As adsorption after As(III) oxidation due to the strong competitive adsorption of citrate/Mn(II)-citrate complex. However, the As(III) oxidation rate was increased in EDTA-amended batches in the late stage, which mainly derived from the increase in the active sites via birnessite dissolution. The strong complexation ability of EDTA led to formation of Mn(III)-EDTA complex. Arsenic adsorption was not affected due to the limited competitive adsorption of the complex on the solid. This work reveals the critical role of low molecular weight organic acids in geochemical behaviors of As and Mn in aqueous environment.

Abstract
Dissolved Mn(III) species have been recognized as a significant form of Mn in redox transition environments, but a holistic understanding of their geochemical properties still lacks the characterization of their reactivity as reductants. Through using PbO2 as a surrogate oxidant and pyrophosphate (PP) as a model ligand, we evaluated the thermodynamic and kinetic constrains of dissolved Mn(III) oxidation under environmentally relevant pH. Without disproportionation, Mn(III) complexes could be directly oxidized by PbO2 to produce Mn oxides. The reaction rates decreased with increasing PP:Mn(III) ratio and became negligible when the ratio was above a threshold value. Particulate manganite could also be oxidized by PbO2 with detectable production of Pb(II). The favorability of Mn(III) oxidation by PbO2 as a function of the PP:Mn ratio could be predicted by the stability constant of the Mn(III)-PP complex. We developed kinetic models that couple multiple pathways of Mn oxidation by PbO2 to simulate the dynamics of Pb release, loss of dissolved Mn, as well as Mn(III) production and consumption. Beyond the context of Mn geochemistry, the interactions between Pb and various Mn species, including its trivalent forms, may also have important implications to the water quality in lead service lines within distribution systems.

Abstract
Soluble manganese(III), stabilized by ligands as Mn(III)-L complexes, are ubiquitous in natural waters and wastewaters and can potentially serve as both the oxidant and reductant in one-electron transfer reactions with organic contaminants. In this study, the oxidative transformations of 14 phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) by in situ-formed Mn(III)-L complexes, generated from irradiated water containing Mn(II) and humic acid, were investigated. The pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs, h-1) of these phenols varied from 1.0 × 10-4 to 5.9 × 10-2. A quantitative structure-activity relationship model was developed, which suggests that the electron-donating ability (EHOMO) of phenolic chemicals was the most important molecular characteristic for the Mn(III)-L-mediated oxidative transformation. Phenol transformation was initiated by the generation of a phenoxyl radical through electron transfer to Mn(III)-L. Subsequent self-coupling reactions between phenoxyl radicals resulted in the formation of self-coupling dimers and trimers. With the addition of simple phenol as a cosubstrate, enhanced transformations of these phenolic EDCs were clearly observed, and cross-coupling products of simple phenol and the substrates were also detected. In addition, a reaction activation energy calculation based on the transition-state theory indicated that the cross-coupling reaction was more likely than the self-coupling reaction to occur in the presence of phenol. This work provides new insights into the environmental fate of phenolic compounds.

Removal of Manganese(II) from Acid Mine Wastewater: A Review of the Challenges and Opportunities with Special Emphasis on Mn-Oxidizing Bacteria and Microalgae. WATER 2019.

Abstract
Many global mining activities release large amounts of acidic mine drainage with high levels of manganese (Mn) having potentially detrimental effects on the environment. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the main implications and challenges of Mn(II) removal from mine drainage. We first present the sources of contamination from mineral processing, as well as the adverse effects of Mn on mining ecosystems. Then the comparison of several techniques to remove Mn(II) from wastewater, as well as an assessment of the challenges associated with precipitation, adsorption, and oxidation/filtration are provided. We also critically analyze remediation options with special emphasis on Mn-oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) and microalgae. Recent literature demonstrates that MnOB can efficiently oxidize dissolved Mn(II) to Mn(III, IV) through enzymatic catalysis. Microalgae can also accelerate Mn(II) oxidation through indirect oxidation by increasing solution pH and dissolved oxygen production during its growth. Microbial oxidation and the removal of Mn(II) have been effective in treating artificial wastewater and groundwater under neutral conditions with adequate oxygen. Compared to physicochemical techniques, the bioremediation of manganese mine drainage without the addition of chemical reagents is relatively inexpensive. However, wastewater from manganese mines is acidic and has low-levels of dissolved oxygen, which inhibit the oxidizing ability of MnOB. We propose an alternative treatment for manganese mine drainage that focuses on the synergistic interactions of Mn in wastewater with co-immobilized MnOB/microalgae.

Abstract
The detection of soluble Mn(III) is typically accomplished using strong complexing agents to trap Mn(III), but the generation of soluble Mn(III) induced by strong complexing agents has seldom been considered. In this study, pyrophosphate (PP), a nonredox active ligand, was chosen as a typical Mn(III) chelating reagent to study the influence of ligands on soluble Mn(III) formation in reactions involving Mn oxides and Mn(VII). The presence of excess PP induced the generation of soluble Mn(III)-PP from α- and δ-MnO2 and led to the conproportionation reaction of α-, β-, δ-, or colloidal MnO2 with Mn(II) at pH 7.0. Compared to MnO2 minerals, colloidal MnO2 showed much higher reactivity toward Mn(II) in the presence of PP and the conproportionation rate of colloidal MnO2 with Mn(II) elevated with increasing PP dosage and decreasing pH. The generation of Mn(III) was not observed in MnO4-/S2O32- or MnO4-/NH3OH+ system without PP while the introduction of excess PP induced the generation of Mn(III)-PP. Thermodynamic calculation results were consistent with the experimental observations. These findings not only provide evidence for the unsuitability of using strong ligands in quantification of soluble Mn(III) in manganese-involved redox reactions, but also advance the understanding of soluble Mn(III) generation in aquatic environment.

Abstract
An immobilized biofilm reactor (IBR) was established to treat nitrate using different electron donors. A novel material, Fe3O4@Cu/PVA, was synthesized as an adsorbent and bacterial immobilized carrier in the reactor. The optimum condition of nitrate removal were pH 7.0, hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 10 h under autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions. Strain H-117 in the mixotrophic reactor had better adaptability to changes in the initial pH. The metabolism in the mixotrophic reactor was more vigorous than that in autotrophic reactor. The microbial communities and structures were evaluated to determine the nitrate removal mechanisms in this system. Microbial analyses demonstrated that different electron donor could influence the bacterial abundance and species in the IBR system. Proteobacteria was the most dominant phylum in all IBRs and accounted for more than 50% of the total phyla. Pseudomonas and Rhizobium were the dominant contributor to the effective removal of nitrate in the IBRs.

Abstract
Dissolved Mn(III) species have recently been recognized as a significant form of Mn in redox transition zones, but their speciation, stability, and reactivity are poorly understood. Besides acting as the intermediate for Mn redox chemistry, Mn(III) can undergo disproportionation producing insoluble Mn oxides and aqueous Mn(II). Using pyrophosphate(PP) as a model ligand, we evaluated the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of Mn(III) complexes. They were stable at circumneutral pH and were prone to (partial) disproportionation at acidic or basic pH. With an initial lag phase, the kinetics of Mn(III)-PP disproportionation was autocatalytic with the produced Mn oxides promoting the disproportionation. X-ray diffraction and the average Mn oxidation state indicated that the solid products were not pure Mn(IV) oxides but a mixture of triclinic birnessite and δ-MnO2. Addition of synthetic analogs of the precipitates eliminated the lag phase, confirming their catalytic roles. Thermodynamic calculations adequately predicted the stability regime of Mn(III)-PP. The present results refined the constant for Mn(PP)25- formation, which allows a consistent and quantitative prediction of equilibrium speciation of Mn(III)-Mn(II)-birnessite with PP. A simple and robust model, which incorporated the thermodynamic constraints, autocatalytic rate law, and verified reaction stoichiometry, successfully simulated all kinetic data.

Abstract
In terms of its oxidative strength, the MnO2/Mn2+ couple is one of the strongest in the aquatic environment. The intermediate oxidation state, manganese(III), is stabilized by a range of organic ligands (Mn(III)-L) and some of these complexes are also strong oxidants or reductants. Here, we present improved methods for quantifying soluble reactive oxidized manganese(III) and particulate reactive oxidized manganese at ultra-low concentrations; the respective detection limits are 6.7 nM and 7 pM (100-cm spectrophotometric path length) and 260 nM and 2.6 nM (1-cm path length). The methods involve a simple, specific, spectrophotometric technique using a water-soluble leuco base (leucoberbelin blue; LBB). LBB is oxidized by manganese through a hydrogen atom transfer reaction forming a colored complex that is stoichiometrically related to the oxidation state of the manganese, either Mn(III)-L or manganese(III,IV) oxides (MnOx). At the concentration of LBB used in this study, nitrite may be a minor interference, so we provide concentration ranges over which it interferes and suggest potential strategies to mitigate the interference. Unlike previous methods devised to quantify Mn(III)-L, which use ligand exchange reactions, the LBB oxidation requires an electron and therefore needs to physically contact manganese(III) for inner-sphere electron transfer to occur. The method for measuring soluble Mn(III)-L was evaluated in the laboratory, and LBB was found to be oxidized by an extensive suite of weak Mn(III)-L complexes, as it is by MnOx, but could not react with or reacted very slowly with strong Mn(III)-L complexes. According to the molecular structures of the Mn(III)-L complexes tested, LBB can also be used to qualitatively assess the binding strength of Mn(III)-L complexes based on metal-chelate structural considerations. The assays for soluble Mn(III)-L (membrane filtered) and particulate manganese oxides (trapped by membrane filters) were applied to the well-oxygenated estuarine waters of the Saguenay Fjord, a major tributary of the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary, and to Western North Atlantic oceanic waters, off the continental shelf, where there is an oxygen minimum zone (< 67% O2 saturation). The methods applied can be used in the field or onboard ships and provide important new insights into oxidized manganese speciation.
