Contaminated water elements in the precipitated flocs was confirmed, and the PFC þ Fe-Mn flocs were more uniform and
bigger than PAC þ Fe-Mn flocs. Total Fe and Al residual concentrations in optimum dose of PAC þ Fe-Mn

respectively. Therefore, the combination of Fe-Mn bimetal nano-oxides with PFC and PAC coagulants can
be a suitable option to improve the removal of As(V) from the contaminated water resources.

Fe3þ and Mn3þ cations and also increasing the adsorption sites by
increasing the Fe-Mn bimetal nano-oxides dose (Huangfu et al.,
2017). This finding is in line with Huangfu et al. results where
they studied the application of MnO2 nanoparticles in coagulation
and flocculation process to remove thallium from surface water
(Huangfu et al., 2017).
The results also revealed that with increasing the Fe-Mn bimetal
oxides dose from 20 to 50 mg/L, the As(V) removal efficiency by
PAC þ FeMn increased with slightly slope. The reason for this may
be high agglomeration of nano-oxides and decrease the adsorption
sites for As(V) adsorption on the nano-oxides (Wang et al., 2018).
However, the higher slope of As(V) removal efficiency with the
increase in the Fe-Mn bimetal nano-oxide dose for the PFC þ Fe-Mn
as compared with PAC þ FeMn, can be related to the formation of
larger and bigger combined flocs (Based on FESEM images of flocs
in Fig. 7) to entrapment As(V) ions and removing them from the
aqueous environments (Cheng, 2002). In addition, the results
demonstrated that an increase in the dose of Fe-Mn bimetal nano-
oxides also increased the amount of residual turbidity that was
higher for the PFC þ FeMn (Fig. 6b). Given that the initial back-
ground color intensity for PFC was higher than PAC coagulants, the
remaining color in the solution was more for PFC after the
enhanced coagulation and flocculation process. This might be
attributed to the high optimal pH of PFC compared to PAC, in which
with increase of pH, the color intensity resulting from PFC
increased too (Sillanpa €€
a et al., 2018).

Mn were 0.15 and 0.25 mg/L and Cl residue concentrations were
6.87 and 4.72 mg/L, respectively. Also, with increasing the co-
agulants dose, total Fe and Al residual concentration was decreased
(Fig. 9a) and total Fe residue concentration in optimum condition
was lower than WHO guideline (0.3 mg/L) for drinking water. In
contrast, for Al residue concentration, it was relatively higher than
WHO guideline (0.2 mg/L) (WHO, 2011).
With the increase of coagulants dose, Cl residue concentration
was increased (Fig. 9b) which can be related to chlorine released
from the chlorinated coagulants. In addition, total Cl residue
concentration in optimum condition was lower than WHO guide-
line (250 mg/L) for drinking water (WHO, 2011).
