Viabilidad técnica para la producción del ion ferrato (VI) por vía electroquímica, a partir de viruta de acero al carbón generada en actividades de torneado de la Empresa Agua Equipos y Procesos S.A.S.

The objective of this work was to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the production of ferrate (VI) by electrochemical reaction from carbon steel shavings. Ferrate (VI) is a reagent obtained through the oxidation of iron and has shown effectiveness as a water disinfectant agent. Electrochemically, it has the following advantages: It does not require multiple stages and can be carried out at ambient conditions. This method requires an electrode with a high iron content and because the carbon steel shaving meets this characteristic, in addition to being an abundant residue with minimal use, it is chosen as a raw material for the production of ferrate (VI). Different concentrations of electrolyte were evaluated, which were determined from the solubility of sodium hydroxide in water, 20, 40 and 60% solubility, corresponding to 5.45, 10.9 and 16.35M, respectively. Similarly, two current densities were proposed, 60.98 and 121.95 A/m2, which were established from the supplied current, 2 and 4 amps. An electrochemical cell was established to carry out the production.
