Title: Electrosynihesis of Ferrates with Diamond Anodes.
Authors: Sáez, Cristina; Rodrigo, Manuel A.; Cañizares, Pablo
Abstract: The article discusses an experiment in the use of boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes to electrosynthesize ferrates. The use of BDD to electrooxidate water and generate ferrates is related to the oxidation of water contaminated with organic solids, rendering it oxygen deficient. The efficiency of BDD as an oxidant is considered relative to iron based electrodes. While the use of BDD anodes is described as a success in general, a risk of corrosion in highly alkaline solutions is noted. The availability of iron reagents for the generation of ferrates is presented as the only limiting factor in the use of BDD anodes.
