The exploration of potassium ferrate(VI) as a disinfectant/coagulant in water and wastewater treatment

Prevention of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infestation in goldfish (Carassius auratus) by potassium ferrate(VI) treatment

“…Murmann and Robinson (1974) reported that ferrate(VI) was very effective in inactivating two pure laboratory cultures of bacteria. Later, Gilbert et al (1976) and Waite (1979a,b) found that ferrate(VI) could be used as a disinfectant to kill indicator organisms and known pathogens in the Enterobacteriaceae family at the concentrations of 5 Â 10 À5 M. Recently, Jiang et al (2006) showed that ferrate(VI) was able to achieve the disinfection targets (>6 log 10 inactivation of Escherichia coliform (E. coli)) at a very low dose (6 mg/L as Fe). Additionally, some researchers have carried out studies on the ability of ferrate(VI) to inactivate viruses (Schink and Waite, 1980;Kazama, 1994Kazama, , 1995.…”

Evaluation of flurbiprofen removal from aqueous solution by electrosynthesized ferrate(VI) ion and electrocoagulation process

“…Ferrate(VI) has high redox potential under acidic conditions, and thus it has been successfully applied in water remediation and treatment processes [25][26][27]. Currently there is not enough information available on the performance optimization of pharmaceutical treatment by electrosynthesized ferrate(VI) ion.…”

Advances in electrochemical Fe(VI) synthesis and analysis

“…However, it has been a long-time investigation of using Fe(VI) as the oxidant for water purification [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], as the catalysts in organic synthesis [9], and more recently as cathodic charge storage materials .…”
