The degradation of CN （1.00 mmol/L） and removal of Cu （0.095 mmol/L） were investigated as a function of Fe（Ⅵ） doses from 0.3-2.00 mmol/L at pH 10.0. It was found that Fe（Ⅵ） could readily oxidize CN and the reduction of Fe（Ⅵ） into Fe（Ⅲ） might serve efficiently for the removal of free copper ions. The increase in Fe（Ⅵ） dose apparently favoured the CN oxidation as well as Cu removal. Moreover, the pH dependence study （pH 10.0-13.0） revealed that the oxidation of CN was almost unaffected in the studied pH range （10.0-13.0）, however, the maximum removal efficiency of Cu was obtained at pH 13.0. Similarly, treatment was carded out for CN-Ni system having the initial Ni concentration of 0.170 mmol/L and CN concentration of 1.00 mmol with Fe（Ⅵ） dose 2.00 mmol at various pH values （10.0-12.0）. Results showed a partial oxidation of CN and partial removal of Ni. It can be observed that Fe（Ⅵ） can partially degrade the CN-Ni complex in this pH range. Further, Fe（Ⅵ） was applied for the treatment of simulated industrial waste/effluent waters treatment containing CN, Cu, and Ni.展开更多

This paper focuses on preparing a new kind of ferrate combined with alum to enhance its coagulation function for water purification. An effective electrolysis reactor was designed and employed in the test. Some key parameters in the process of electrolysis concerning the preparation efficiency, such as the current density, temperature and alkalinity were also investigated. The proper conditions for ferrate alum preparation were determined. Under the condition of 5V given voltage, 6h electrolyzing interval, below 2% alum concentration (in weight), a combined liquid ferrate alum products was successfully prepared, which contained 0.0294 mol/L FeO 2- 4 and 0.0302 mol/L total soluble ferron with 2% Al 2O 3. There was no insoluble ferron produced by controlling an optimum electrochemical condition.展开更多
