Description of Related Arts
Ferrate has a strong oxidizing function under a relatively wide pH range and is capable of oxidizing many organic or inorganic substances. For examples, inorganic compounds such as NH2+, S2O32−, SCN−, H2; heavy metals such as Arsenic and chromium; radioactive substances such as uranium; and organic compounds such as alcohols, acids, amines, hydroxyl-ketones, hydroquinones and phenols. Ferrate is an ideal, highly effective and highly selective oxidant which will not cause any damaging effect to humans and other living organisms or to the environment. Also, ferrate ions in aqueous solution can kill E. coli and general bacteria, and remove the hazardous organic substances, —NO2−, poisonous Cn− and etc. in wastewater. In addition, the Fe(OH)3 produced by decomposition of ferrate ions can be used as an adsorption agent to adsorb different kinds of cations and anions and thus a very good water purification function is provided. Accordingly, ferrate is also an ideal water treatment agent for industrial wastewater and drinking water. However, since the preparation process of ferrate is complicated and the investment cost is high, large scale application of ferrate salts is restricted.
At present, a more common approach is to utilize the wet oxidation method to prepare ferrate salts. For the applications of wet oxidation to prepare ferrate salts, a lot of researches have been done by many domestic and foreign scholars. U.S. Pat. No. 6,331,949 disclosed a preparation method which uses potassium hydroxide, chlorine, ferric chloride, silicate and iodate to produce ferrate. The Japan patent Kokai 80/75926, which was published in T. Morishita on Jun. 7, 1980, disclosed a preparation method which uses the molten iron or iron oxide with potassium nitrate and potassium hydroxide to produce ferrate. The patent number EP19820305914 disclosed a preparation method which uses potassium hypochlorite and ferric salts with adding strongly alkaline reagent to produce ferrate. However, since the ferrate solution is very unstable, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethyl sulfone and methanol are used in the ferrate purification process. U.S. Pat. No. 5,217,584 disclosed that beta-ferric oxide is used as the iron source, iodine-containing or tellurium-containing salt of sodium potassium are used as the stabilizing compounds, and hypochlorous acid is utilized to produce ferrate, where the reaction temperature is 18˜25° C. and the reaction time is 1˜6 hours. In the patent number CN101497461A, a rapid preparation process for ferrate solution which uses Iron (II, III) oxide as the iron source for reaction under microwave irradiation condition is disclosed.
The above papers do not teach or suggest any ferrate preparation method which utilizes iron in nascent state as the iron source, wherein the papers regarding chemical wet method mostly utilizes iron salts such as ferric chloride, ferric sulfate or ferric nitrate as the iron source.
In order to solve the problems of conventional preparation method for ferrate salts which involve complicate process while the stability of ferrate salt products is very low, an object of the present invention is to provide a preparation method for ferrate based on activity in nascent state interface.
A high efficiency preparation method for ferrate based on activity in nascent state interface, comprises the followings steps of:
(a) adding iron salt to a first alkaline solution having a pH of 5˜9 for hydrolysis and producing an iron solution in nascent state with an equivalent concentration of iron of 0.0001˜1 mol/L;
(b) weighing and obtaining 5˜100 mL of the iron solution in nascent state from step (a), adding oxidizing agent based on a molar ratio of the iron in nascent state and the oxidizing agent at 1:0.1˜20, and allowing to mix to obtain a mixture;
(c) under the condition of 5° C.˜60° C., adding 5˜100 mL the second alkaline solution with a concentration of 0.1˜16 mol/L or adding 0.2˜70 g alkaline granules to the mixture obtained from the step (b); stirring and mixing for 0.1˜30 min; allowing the solution to turn purplish black color completely and then process solid-liquid separation by centrifugation or filtration to obtain a liquid; and
(d) adding stabilizing agent based on a molar ratio of the equivalent concentration of iron in the liquid obtained from the step (c) and the stabilizing agent of 1:0.1˜10 to obtain a ferrate solution, where the yield is 78˜98%.
The present invention utilizes divalent or trivalent iron salt and weak alkaline solution for hydrolysis reaction to produce iron in nascent state while a portion of the energy is released in the hydrolysis of iron ions at the same time; therefore the heat produced by the reaction between oxidants, the alkali and the iron in nascent state is reduced dramatically. Accordingly, the method of the present invention can be used under a relatively large temperature range and no ice bath is required. Also, the nascent state iron produced has a large surface area ratio and strong reactivity, thus the reaction can occur quickly and steadily. In addition, in the process of preparing ferrate of the present invention, a stabilizing agent which contains one or more of sodium perchlorate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium silicate, peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, potassium hypochlorite, sodium phosphate is added such that the stability of the ferrate solution being produced is increased dramatically and can be stored for 3˜15 days.
