Ferrate(VI) is an environmental friendly treatment chemical, which has properties such as high stability, oxidizing power, selectivity, and a non-toxic by-product. The iron(VI) derivative, potassium ferrate (VI) (K2FeO4) can perform superiorly in degrading various organic compounds. Potassium ferrate(VI) (K2FeO4) can be conveniently produced by a wet method. This paper demonstrates the oxidation power of using potassium ferrate(VI) for organic compounds. We have compared the oxidation power of potassium ferrate(VI) with those of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and potassium chromate (K2CrO4). To allow a direct comparison of the results, all the reactions were run in cyclohexane at room temperature using Benzaldehyde, oxidant (K2FeO4; K2CrO4; KMnO4). The solution was analyzed by GC. |
