Novel ferrate (VI) technology in water and wastewater treatment

Novel ferrate (VI) technology in water and wastewater treatment. A potential oxidant/disinfectant chemical reagent for water treatment is green chemical ferrate (VI) salt. In the present work, potassium ferrate was synthesized, purified and characterized by spectral studies. Water samples were collected from GUYSUCO (ECD), DDL (ECD), Lodge (Georgetown) and UG (ECD), Guyana. The water quality parameters used to examine water quality, pre- and post-treatment, were turbidity, pH, dissolved solids, total hardness, chemical oxygen demand and iron content. The pre- and posttreatment procedures were useful in determining the treatment potential of synthesized ferrates. Potassium ferrate was found to be more stable and effective in water treatment.
