Abstract

Ferrate(VI) was utilized to treat micro-pollutants--4-tert-octylphenol (TOP) and $17{\alpha}$-ethynylestradiol (EE2)--from aqueous solutions. Batch studies were conducted at various pHs (7.0 to 12.0) and concentrations of TOP/or EE2 (0.03 to 0.3 mmol/L) using 0.1 mmol/L ferrate(VI). Time-dependent degradation of TOP and EE2 was assessed as a function of pH and micro-pollutant concentrations and we found that significant mineralization of micro-pollutants was achieved by ferrate(VI) treatment. Second-order kinetics showed 1 : 1 stoichiometry was obtained between the ferrate(VI) and TOP/or EE2. Further, the effect of several background electrolytes on degradation of TOP and EE2 by ferrate(VI) was evaluated, showing insignificant effect of degradation.
