In this study it reported an electrochemical generation of ferrate by dissolution of a new material.It discussed the influence of current density,electrolysis time and anode material on current efficiency.A ferrate solution about 286.87 mol/dm3 was obtained under the optimum conditions: 16mol/L NaOH,J=100mA/cm2,35℃,electrolysis duration(2.5h).The cyclic voltammograms(CVs)of iron revealed a new anodic wave between-1.4 and 0.7V versus HgO/Hg corresponding to ferrate(Ⅵ) production.The CV is strikingly differen...
