Abstract
An exploratory study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of using potassium ferrate VI to oxidize ammonia in the secondary effluent from water treatment plants. The method shows good potential in that the major oxidation product, elemental nitrogen, is also the most desired product considering pollution abatement. The addition of chloride ion up to 100 ppm has little effect on ammonia removal. Of the ammonia nitrogen oxidized, more than 50% is oxidized to elemental nitrogen and less than 10% is oxidized to nitrites.
