Evaluation of iron and manganese removal effectiveness by …
Another study showed that the biological bed of filters plays a significant role in reducing manganese and iron. In other words, the formation of a suitable substrate in the filters to remove these elements can depend on the quality of the raw water. So identifying effective microorganisms is a significant step in the removal process [26–28].

Geophagia: Benefits and potential toxicity to human—A review
For instance, the role kaolin (clay) plays in iron absorption and assimilation is significantly displayed in studies carried out by some authors (52, 53). They worked with four different types of clay and discovered that Fe ions permeate exchangeably with Ca, Mg, Mn, Na, K and hydrogen ions, leading to the formation of non-absorbable iron ...
