The aqueous reactivity of five prominent endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with potassium ferrate has been studied. The degradation kinetics and reaction pathways for bisphenol A (BPA) have been considered in detail, and the reaction rate constants for 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2), estrone (E1), beta-estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3) have been determined, from tests carried out in the pH r...

The kinetics of the oxidation of endocrine disruptor nonylphenol (NP) by potassium ferrate(VI) (K2FeO4) in water as a function of pH 8.0–10.9 at 25 C is presented. The observed second-order rate constants, kobs, decrease with an increase in pH 269–32 M s. The speciation of Fe(VI) (HFeO4 and FeO4 ) and NP (NP–OH and NP–O) species was used to explain the pH dependence of the kobs values. At a dos...

It has been investigated how well potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) treats hospital wastewater effluents. In the treatment of water and wastewater, serves as an oxidant, disinfectant, coagulant with several functions. The effects combining oxidation coagulation processes on features have not extensively studied. objective this study is to evaluate methods. An optimization technique based response surf...

Potassium ferrate, an analog of orthophosphate and a potent oxidizing agent, was found to irreversibly inactivate porcine muscle adenylate kinase. Inhibition was prevented by competitive inhibitors or substrates, indicating that the action of ferrate was site-specific. Inactivation was accompanied by the loss of Cys-25 and Tyr-95. P1,P5-di(adenosine 5')-pentaphosphate (10(-7) M), a powerful com...

The potential benefits and mechanisms of potassium ferrate pretreatment and calcium chloride addition on sludge dewaterability were investigated in this study. The capillary suction time (CST) was used to evaluate sludge dewaterability. Results indicated that potassium ferrate of 0.1 g/g total solids (TS) and calcium chloride of 0.4 g/g TS were optimal parameters, and corresponding CST reached ...

As an important precursor and derivate of graphene, graphene oxide (GO) has received wide attention in recent years. However, the synthesis of GO in an economical and efficient way remains a great challenge. Here we reported an improved NaNO3-free Hummers method by partly replacing KMnO4 with K2FeO4 and controlling the amount of concentrated sulfuric acid. As compared to the existing NaNO3-free...

BACKGROUND Pharmaceuticals and their metabolites are inevitably emitted into the waters. The adverse environmental and human health effects of pharmaceutical residues in water could take place under a very low concentration range; from several µg/L to ng/L. These are challenges to the global water industries as there is no unit process specifically designed to remove these pollutants. An effici...

Ferrate (VI) exhibits many advantages because of its dual functions of oxidation and coagulation. Removal of micro pollutants by ferrate(VI) was pH dependant and this was in coordinate to the chemical/physical properties of the pollutants and ferrate(VI) speciation. Promising performance of ferrate(VI) in the treatment of real waste water was observed. It is important to determine whether the f...
