Degradation of mineral-immobilized pyrene by ferrate oxidation: Role of mineral type and intermediate oxidative iron species

Ferrate (Fe(VI)) salts like K2FeO4 are efficient green oxidants to remediate organic contaminants in waterFerrate (Fe(VI)) salts like K2FeO4 are efficient green oxidants to remediate organic contaminants in water treatment. Minerals are efficient sorbents of contaminants and also excellent solid heterogeneous catalysts which might affect Fe(VI) remediation processes. By targeting the typical poly...
