Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Recently, the tetraoxy high-valent iron(VI), known as ferrate(VI) (Fe(VI); FeVIO42), received a great attention as a water-treatment chemical, because of its unique oxidation, disinfection, and coagulation properties. Though Fe(VI) has shown remarkable efficiency in oxidizing several pollutants in water, it has sluggish reactivity with some emerging organic contaminants, especially at basic pH conditions. Thus, the main objective of this PhD thesis was to activate or catalyze Fe(VI) oxidation reactions, at mild alkaline pH conditions, to enhance the oxidative transformation of organic pollutants and reduce the required dosage of Fe(VI) and contact time.
The activation of …
