Field Study IV: Arsenic Removal from Groundwater by Ferrate with the Concurrent Disinfecting Effect: Semi-Pilot On-site Application

Ductile Iron: A Low-Cost Optimal Anode Material for Electrochemical Generation of Ferrate(VI)

“…[6][7][8][9][10] In environmental remediation, ferrate has become increasingly popular because of its advantages, including high oxidation potential, lack of byproduct formation, and non-toxic end products. Ferrate is a strong oxidizer with a redox potential of 2.2 V in acidic media which has been successfully applied to treat toxic organic and inorganic compounds such as alcohols, phenols, amines, thiourea, thioacetamide, hydrazine, antibiotics, cyanotoxin, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] cyanide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic(III). [18][19][20] In addition, many studies have demonstrated that ferrate is an effective disinfectant, capable of eliminating various pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi which are those resistant to chlorine.…”
