Abstract

FeO32- acted as a highly effective water-purifying agent and exhibited superior performance compared with FeO42-, the traditional synthesis method of FeO32- requires challenging reaction conditions. This study focused on the environmentally friendly synthesis of green Na2FeO3 crystals using sodium hypochlorite as a medium via a concentration method under depressurization. In an alkaline hypochlorite system, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed that, under different OH- concentrations and temperatures, hypochlorite can oxidize Fe (III) to FeO32-. Na2FeO3 served as a highly effective water-purifying agent and was superior to K2FeO4 in the treatment of oil-recovery wastewater. Na2FeO3 and K2FeO4 reacted similarly to organic compounds as determined by UV-visible spectroscopy. Additionally, it is less expensive to synthesize Na2FeO3 compared with K2FeO4.
