Iron potassium oxide

CAS 39469-86-8

Iron potassium oxide
High-valent iron attacks contaminants; lower-valent iron helps clean up afterward. Potassium ferrate is unusual because its chemistry changes roles during treatment.
Potassium ferrate(VI) (CAS 39469-86-8) is a strong oxidant with a useful second act: after Fe(VI) oxidation, Fe(III) products can contribute to coagulation and contaminant removal.
