Abstract
Novel devices for synthesizing ferrate and uses thereof are described. One aspect of the invention relates to devices and systems for synthesizing ferrate at a site proximal to the site of use.
Claims18
A device for continuously synthesizing ferrate for delivery to a site of use, comprising
- a first holding chamber;
- a second holding chamber;
- a mixing chamber controllably connected to the first holding chamber and to the second holding chamber, into which a content of the first holding chamber and a content of a second holding chamber are added to form a first mixture;
- a reaction chamber controllably connected to the mixing chamber, the reaction chamber adapted to receive the first mixture and maintain the first mixture for a period of time;
- a ferrate mixture in the reaction chamber;
- and
- an output opening in the reaction chamber through which the ferrate mixture is adapted to be transported to the site of use, wherein said site of use is at a distance from the output opening at which the concentration of ferrate at the site of use is equal to or greater than half the concentration of ferrate at the output opening.

A system for continuously synthesizing ferrate, comprising
- a first holding chamber containing an iron salt;
- a second holding chamber containing an oxidizing agent;
- a mixing chamber controllably connected to the said holding chamber and to said second holding chamber, into which said iron salt and said oxidizing agent are controllably added to form a mixture;
- a reaction chamber controllably connected to said mixing chamber, into which said mixture is kept for a period of time, and in which ferrate is synthesized;
- and
- an output opening in the reaction chamber through which said ferrate is transported to a site of use, wherein said site of use is at a distance from the output opening at which the concentration of ferrate at the site of use is equal to or greater than half the concentration of ferrate at the output opening.
3 more elements
A device for continuously synthesizing ferrate for delivery to a site of use, comprising
- means for holding an iron salt;
- means for holding an oxidizing agent;
- means for mixing said iron salt and said oxidizing agent into which said iron salt and said oxidizing agent are controllably added to form a mixture, wherein said mixing means is controllably connected to said holding means for said iron salt and to said holding means for said oxidizing agent;
- means for reacting said iron salt and said oxidizing agent into which said mixture is kept for a period of time, and in which ferrate is synthesized, wherein said reacting means is controllably connected to said mixing means;
- and
- means for removing said ferrate from said reacting means, through which said ferrate is transported to a site of use, wherein said site of use is at a distance from the reacting means at which the concentration of ferrate at the site of use is equal to or greater than half the concentration of ferrate at the reacting means.
