Ferrate (VI)

This book explores ferrate (VI) as a cutting‑edge, environmentally friendly chemical for wastewater treatment. It details various synthesis techniques, stability evaluations, and its effectiveness against emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, endocrine‑disrupting compounds, pesticides, and viruses. The book also examines real‑world applications in sewage, domestic, and hospital wastewater systems, assessing toxicity reduction through acute toxicity tests and oxidative stress analyses.Offers a thorough and logically organized overview of ferrate (VI), including its synthesis, practical applications, and toxicity assessmentDescribes methods used to determine the purity of synthesized Fe(VI), such as UV–visible spectrophotometry, calorimetric techniques, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and moreConnects advancements in green chemistry with relevant, sustainable engineering practicesDiscusses future prospects, including scalability, operational simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and the potential of ferrate (VI) as a sustainable option for environmental remediationExamines its use in real‑water matrices, including studies on sewage, hospital, and domestic wastewater treatmentAimed at researchers and graduate students in water treatment and green chemical engineering, this book positions ferrate (VI) as a promising, sustainable, and highly efficient solution to global wastewater management challenges.
