Scientists Develop Cleaner for Polluted Water Without Toxic By-Products
Polluted water is one commodity that the world does not lack. However, finding the correct cleanser to disinfect and treat this water is an ongoing problem. As is apparent in the BP oil spill crisis, using a toxic chemical dispersant as a cleanser has its own unacceptable environmental cost. Green chemistry is going a long way towards finding the right cleanser for polluted water through research into products that include ferrate.
Ferrate is a form of iron that, when used as a cleanser for polluted water, leaves behind only environmentally safe iron oxide as a by-product. Traditionally, polluted water cleansers have had toxic by-products such as trihalomethanes and bromates, which are carcinogens. Also, conventional cleansers have relied on different substances to oxidize the pollutants in the water, and then coagulate them.
Although the benefits of a ferrate cleanser for polluted water have been known for some time, ferrate products have been too expensive to manufacture on a commercial scale. Virender K. Sharma, a chemistry professor at the Florida Institute of Technology, has developed a liquid ferrate compound that will be far less expensive to manufacture, while being more effective than conventional polluted water treatments. Sharma will partner with Ferratec, LLC to market his liquid ferrate.

Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening. I
appreciate you spending some time and energy to put this informative article together.
I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading and posting comments.
But so what, it was still worthwhile!

this website is terrible!
This website was suckish it had no help!
Como limpiar las aguas contaminadas de un rio. En Colombia los desplazados por la violencia invaden las riberas de los rios cerca de las ciudades contaminando con sus desechos las mismas aguas de las que necesitan para bañarse y consumir. Un circulo vicioso. Seria interesante integrarlos en el cuidado de "jardin en agua" y que les produjera ingresos. Biogas, biomasa, pesca, turismo.
Cuanto valdria un producto como ese si existe y ustedes lo tienen, aqui en Colombia, me gustaria comercializarlo
