Evaluation Of Ferrate Preoxidation For Drinking Water Treatment, Joseph E. Goodwill
Evaluation Of Ferrate Preoxidation For Drinking Water Treatment, Joseph E. Goodwill
Doctoral Dissertations
Ferrate (Fe(IV)) has been proposed as a viable alternative for pre-oxidation in drinking water treatment (Jiang & Lloyd, 2002; Sharma, Kazama, Jiangyong, & Ray, 2005). The primary advantages of ferrate include a strong oxidation potential without the formation of halogenated by-products. In addition, the by-product of ferrate oxidation, ferric iron (Fe(III)), may have beneficial impacts on downstream particle destabilization and removal processes. Also, ferrate has disinfectant properties and may also provide pathogen inactivation in drinking water (Sharma et al., 2005). However, despite these advantages, there is a dearth of research experience that examines the implications of using ferrate for treating …
