Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2004-2019. 3619. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/etd/3619 REMOVAL OF 2, 4-DINITROPHENOL BY FERRATE by GIANNA GRIFFITH COOLEY B.S. Loyola Univeristy New Orleans, 2002 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2008 Major Professor: Debra R. Reinhart © 2008 Gianna Griffith Cooley ii ABSTRACT VI 2- Ferrate (molecular formula, Fe O4 ) has been studied increasingly since the 1970s as a disinfectant and coagulant for domestic wastewater and also as an oxidant for industrial wastewaters (Murmann and Roginson, 1974, Gilbert et al., 1978, Kazama, 1994, Jiang et al., 2002, and Sharmaet al., 2005). This research was performed to explore whether ferrate could possibly be used as chemical treatment for industrial wastewaters from plastic, chemical, dye, soap, and wood stain producing plants that contain 2, 4-Dinitrophenol (DNP).
