Contaminants Treatable By Ferrate
As Ferrate (iron six) is reduced (by stealing electrons from something else) it falls back down from iron 6+ to 5+ to 4+ to 3+ (ferric iron), in the process acting as an Oxidant, then Coagulant, and finally as a Flocculent. Uniquely, Ferrate performs these three distinct treatment functions from the application of a single dose. Therefore, Ferrate has the potential to work in many water and wastewater treatment markets worldwide.
Below, please find a long but only partial list of the contaminants that Ferrate can be used to treat. This list was compiled from independent research results found in the published studies around the world. Note that we have not attempted to include efficacious dosages or the particular treatment regimen employed. For more detailed information, please lookup specific studies and results.
