Abstract
Novel methods and devices for synthesizing ferrate and uses thereof are described. One aspect of the invention relates to synthesizing ferrate at a site proximal to the site of use, another aspect of the invention relates to devices and methods for synthesizing ferrate.
Claims16
A method of continuously synthesizing ferrate, comprising:
- a) mixing an iron salt and an oxidizing agent in a mixing chamber to provide a mixture;
- b) delivering at least a portion of the mixture to a reaction chamber;
- c) continuously generating ferrate in the reaction chamber;
- d) delivering at least a portion of the ferrate to a site of use that is proximal to the reaction chamber;
- and
- e) adding additional iron salt and oxidizing agent to the mixing chamber;
- wherein said site of use is a site where said ferrate is contacted with an object it is to oxidize, disinfect, clean, plate, encapsulate, or coagulate or is utilized in organic synthesis.

A method of synthesizing ferrate, comprising:
- a) mixing an aqueous solution comprising an iron salt and an oxidizing agent in a mixing chamber to form a solution of ferrate;
- b) delivering at least a portion of the solution of ferrate to a site of use that is proximal to the mixing chamber;
- wherein said site of use is a site where said ferrate is contacted with an object it is to oxidize, disinfect, clean, plate, encapsulate, or coagulate or is utilized in organic synthesis.
