    The pulp and paper industry wastewater discharge into public water, it will cause water pollution problems. In this research, lignin contaminated synthetic wastewater with a COD value of 2,401 mg/L, and color intensity of 5,432 ADMI was treated using 150 mM sodium peroxydisulfate in combination with MnO<inf>x</inf>-loaded biochar (MnO<inf>x</inf>-B). The MnO<inf>x</inf>-B was produced by pyrolyzing corn core at 400 °C for 4 hours without oxygen, then dipped in 40 mM manganese sulfate for 2 hours, and heated at 600°C for 30 min without oxygen. From the characterization of MnO<inf>x</inf>-B, the surface area, pore volume, pore size, and pH value at the zero-point charges of MnO<inf>x</inf>-B were 153 m<sup>2</sup>/g, 0.054 cm<sup>3</sup>/g, 1.11 nm, and 7.23, respectively. From the FTIR spectrogram, the peak assigned to Mn-O was observed. By applying 150 mM sodium peroxydisulfate and varying three parameters: MnO<inf>x</inf>-B dosage, initial wastewater pH, and reaction time, to treat lignin wastewater, the optimum experimental condition was obtained using 2 mg/L of MnO<inf>x</inf>-B, under pH of 8 for 45 min. The COD and color removal efficiencies were 73% and 90%, respectively. However, the quality of the treated wastewater did not yet pass the pulp and paper mills effluent standards of the Department of Industrial Works.

    This research was aimed at recycling agricultural waste and treating synthetic automobile service station wastewater. Wastewater was synthesized to two levels of COD concentration: 702 mg/L (WW-A) and 7,054 mg/L (WW-B). In the treatment process, 100 mM sodium peroxydisulfate with MnO<inf>x</inf>-loaded biochar (MnO<inf>x</inf>-Biochar) was applied. The MnO<inf>x</inf>-Biochar was produced by dipping corn cob biochar in 40 mM manganese sulfate followed by pyrolyzed at 600°C. The surface area, pore volume, pore size, and pH value at the zero-point charge of MnO<inf>x</inf>-Biochar were 130 m<sup>2</sup>/g, 0.044 cm<sup>3</sup>/g, 1.02 nm, and 7.05, respectively. From the FTIR spectrogram, a peak assignable to Mn-O was observed. The results showed that the initial pH of the wastewater did not affect the treatment efficiency. The optimum MnO<inf>x</inf>-Biochar dosage was 2 g/L. Equilibrium was reached within 120 min of reaction. During the first 15 min, the treatment rate constants (k) of the WW-A and WW-B treatment were 0.0647 min<sup>-1</sup> and 0.0349 min<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. After 15 min, the k values of the WW-A and WW-B treatments were reduced to 0.0242 min<sup>-1</sup> and 0.0094 min<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The overall treatment efficiencies of the low COD wastewater (WW-A) and high COD wastewater (WW-B) were 97% and 78%, respectively. The treatment mechanisms involved both adsorption and oxidation. The adsorption efficiencies of the WW-A and WW-B treatments were 36% and 18%, respectively.
