Microbially-mediated biogenic Fe–Mn oxides for cadmium removal from aqueous solutions: characteristics and mechanisms

Key Points

• Cadmium removal efficacy reaches up to 95% with biogenic Fe–Mn oxides in aqueous environments.
• Key evidence shows a significant reduction in cadmium concentrations, with a notable 95% removal efficiency.
• Assessment employed characterization of microbially-mediated biogenic oxides in aqueous solutions to understand their mechanisms.
• This study highlights the potential for biogenic oxides in water treatment, emphasizing the need for larger-scale validation.
