Modified potassium ferrate can be produced industrially

A new generation of green disinfectants is expected to appear in the market

The reporter learned from the Langfang City Productivity Promotion Center last week that the modified potassium ferrate production technology developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences will be used for the first time in the production of modified potassium ferrate to make the production process of potassium ferrate become Easy to control. The stability of the product has been greatly improved, and the corrosiveness to metals has been greatly reduced, so it can be truly used as a new generation of green broad-spectrum disinfectants and water purifying agents.
For a long time, chlorine disinfectants have become the mainstream product of the disinfectant market with its excellent broad-spectrum disinfection effect, and the aluminum-based water-repellent agent has become a mainstream product in the water purification agent market because of its stable and reliable flocculation and turbidity-reducing effect. Recent studies have found that chlorine-containing organic compounds formed during the use of chlorine disinfectants have strong teratogenic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects, and long-term use of aluminum-based water purifying agents may cause senile dementia and other diseases. As a promising multi-functional green and efficient water treatment agent, ferrate has gradually attracted attention from the market.
However, due to the poor storage stability of potassium ferrate and the difficulties in production and preparation, the preparation of high-purity ferrate remains in the laboratory preparation stage so far, and industrial production has not yet been realized. The project completed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for the first time used step-by-step doping technology to produce modified potassium ferrate, which inhibited the side reactions of potassium ferrate production process, greatly reduced the difficulty of industrial production, and significantly reduced the alkali consumption and increased the Separation efficiency eliminates the need for drying and dehydration of organic solvents, and significantly improves storage stability and safety.
According to experts, once the modified potassium ferrate green disinfectant achieves industrial production, it will have a large market in China. If the per capita annual amount of 0.1 kg is calculated, the national market capacity can reach 100,000 tons per year. According to an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons of modified potassium ferrate, the product is sold at a price of 30,000 yuan per ton. The annual sales will be 300 million yuan and the profits and taxes will reach 100 million yuan.
The test results show that the modified potassium ferrate can not only be used for the sanitation and disinfection of vegetables and fruits and the cleaning and disinfection of metal surfaces, but also used for disinfecting water purification of swimming pools, disinfection and epidemic prevention of aquaculture, and decolorization and reuse of printing and dyeing wastewater.
