Synthesis and Characterization of Ferrate(VI) Alkali Metal by Electrochemical Method

This works aims at preparing at room stable Na2FeO4 and tracking its degradation over time. The synthetic, during this step, was carried out by electrochemical method. The latter was given maximum focus because of its simplicity and the high degree of purity of the resulting product with respect to wet and dry method. This paper reviews the development of the electrochemical method applied to the synthesis of stable at room Na2FeO4, optimizing the parameters impacting the performance of the oxidation of iron(II) in to iron(VI) in alkaline NaOH, saturated at a temperature of 61°C and a current density of 1.4 A/dm2, in order to simplify the synthesis process, to minimize the cost and to improve the production of iron(VI) to meet the growing demand of ferrate(VI) useful for water treatment. The supervision of the degradation of synthesized Na2FeO4 shows its stability over a period of 10 months, which makes storage and transport easier. The phases obtained were characterized by IR spectrometry, X-ray, M?ssbauer, spectroscopy and thermogravimeric analysis.

Effect of Degree of ClO‾Hypochlorite on the Wet Synthesis of Ferrate (VI)

This work is a result of previously done studies on the synthesis of A2FeVIO4 wet ferrate (VI) formula, using chlorine as an oxidant. The major problem of these ferrates is related to their stability over time. This brings us to identify and optimize the critical parameters influencing the preparation of the Na2FeO4 at room stable phase with acceptable performance. The use of water bleach (hypochlorite ClO‾) at a chlorometric degree of 50°F in the synthesis of the Na2FeO4 ambient stable phase promotes the oxidation of iron (II) iron to (VI) in a concentrated NaOH alkaline medium. The synthesis reaction is in the presence of FeSO4 7H2O hydrated iron sulfate at a temperature of about 55°C in order to simplify the synthesis process, to enhance the production of the Fe (VI) and to meet the growing demand of ferrates (VI) for their interest in the treatment of water. Monitoring the degradation of synthesized Na2FeO4 shows its stability up to 12 months, which facilitates storage and transportation. The phases obtained were characterized by IR spectroscopy, and RX by UV spectrophotometer, measuring the optical density at 507 nm.

Process for the Synthesis of Ferrate (VI) Alkali Metal Dry

The iron compounds in the oxidation state (VI) have the specific advantage of being powerful oxidants and bactericides. This feature explains their particular interest in the treatment of water. The aim of this work is to prepare Na2FeO4 stable at ambient in order to optimize the key parameters influencing the performance of the oxidation of iron (II) to iron (VI), as well as to monitor its degradation over time. The synthesis of this phase has been carried out by using the dry reaction Na2O2 with Fe2O3 with a temperature of 700°C for a reaction time of 13 hours with a Na/Fe ratio of 4 to make it possible to simplify the synthesis procedure, to minimize the cost and enhance the production of iron (VI) to meet the growing demand of ferrate (VI) for its interest in water treatment. The obtained phase was characterized by UV spectrophotometer by measuring the optical density at a wavelength of 507 nm.
