Abstract
Recently, water-soluble compounds of iron in high oxidation states (FeIV–VI), also known as ferrates, have gained a lot of attention due to their strong oxidation properties. They can potentially be used for degradation/removal of various compounds from contaminated water. To date, the majority of published papers have concerned only laboratory-scale use of ferrates in model solutions. Large-scale applications of ferrates to remediation have proved so far to be rather complicated as the obtained results failed to meet expectations. Therefore, there is an ongoing need to consider the suitability of their large-scale use. Further combination with other oxidizing agents may provide favorable results. The presented research focuses on laboratory experiments using real groundwater followed by a pilot field application realized as an ex situ experiment and subsequently as in situ remediation. Ferrates were combined with hydrogen peroxide in order to enhance their removal efficiency during this pilot remediation test. Such combination proved to be highly effective achieving 60–80% removal of persistent organic contaminants during the first 24 h.
