Summary: | In the context of growing arsenic (As) contamination in the world, there is an urgent need for an effective treatment approach to remove As from the environment. Industrial wastewater is one of the primary sources of As contamination, which poses significant risks to both microorganisms and human health, as the presence of As can disrupt the vital processes and synthesis of crucial macromolecules in living organisms. The global apprehension regarding As presence in aquatic environments persists as a key environmental issue. This review summarizes the recent advances and progress in the design, strategy, and synthesis method of various manganese-based adsorbent materials for As removal. Occurrence, removal, oxidation mechanism of As(III), As adsorption on manganese oxide (MnOx)-based materials, and influence of co-existing solutes are also discussed. Furthermore, the existing knowledge gaps of MnOx-based adsorbent materials and future research directions are proposed. This review provides a reference for the application of MnOx-based adsorbent materials to As removal.
