内容简介：
Iron in +6 oxidation states of iron, called ferrate (FeVIO42-), is emerging environmental-friendly material,which can play role in processes like oxygen generation from water, super iron battery, synthesis of organic molecules with selectivity, and treatment of water and wastewater, which are also sustainable. The theme of the presentation will be to demonstrate the green nature of ferrate and its applications in various fields. The presentation will demonstrate ferrate technology in eliminating antibiotics (sulfonamides, trimethoprim, and fluoroquinolones) in water.The presentation will also include overcoming of the limitations of ferrate technology by activating the ferrate(VI). Examples include addition of simple acids addition (acetic acid, hydrochloric, and nitric acids) into the ferrate(VI)-contaminant solution to activate ferrate(VI).Other examples include combinations of ferrate(VI) with ammonia, peroxomonosulfate, and sulfur(IV) to accelerate the oxidation of organic contaminants. Mechanisms of the activation ferrate(VI) will be elucidated.
