“…Recently, the use of ferrates VI as a water treatment to oxidize organic pollutants (laboratory experiments) has been well documented. This strong oxidant reacts on a wide range of agents as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, phenols, cyanide, heavy metals, microorganisms, natural organic matter (Bielski et al, 1994;Filip et al, 2011;Gan et al, 2015;Hrabak et al, 2016;Jiang et al, 2006;Johnson and Sharma, 1999;Liu et al, 2019;Manoli et al, 2019;Peings et al, 2017Peings et al, , 2015Rai et al, 2018;Sharma, 2013Sharma, , 2008Yngard et al, 2008), and aromatic structures like BTEX (Lacina and Goold 2015;Minetti et al 2017), water lixiviates from bitumen (Wang et al, 2016) and PAHs (Guan et al, 2014). It releases O2, HOand ends as Fe(OH)3, which has flocculent properties and is nontoxic towards the environment.…”
