Abstract
This paper describes some preliminary tests on the use of sodium ferrate as a reagent for drinking water treatment. me manufacture and purification of the reagent by a low temperature method is described. Tests were carried o ut for colour and manganese removal using the ferrate as a flocculant. Ther e is some indication that much less ferrate than ferric flocculant is neede d for colour removal. Sodium ferrate is also an effective remover of mangan ese.
