ABSTRACT

In current study, an assessment has been done for the efficacy of using coagulation and oxidation technique for removing organic pollutants from industrial water of petroleum refinery, that will give an advantage to reuse treated water, and reduce environment pollutions. The study shows at low Fe (VI) concentrations potassium ferrate (VI) (K2FeO4) has outstanding antiseptic possessions and can deactivate a wide range of microorganisms. In addition, using Fe (VI) presenting Fe (III) as a byproduct, which is a harmless and an ecologically friendly substance ion, because its treatment does not produce any chlorination. For the data, the experimental designed via response surface methodology by the Box-Behnken design remained rummage-sale to analyze the three effects operating limits: ferrate concentration, oxidation time, pH, and their properties on the approach of the aforementioned pollutants removal. The study revealed that the constancy of potassium ferrate solution peaked at a pH of 6-7 and that a high concentration of ferrate solution was more stable than a low concentration.
