This manuscript reports for fi rst time the electrochemical generation of ferrate species in a batch reactor at neutral conditions (pH ~7) using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes and Fe (III) salts as a function of key parameters such as pH, iron source and initial concentration, and the presence of organic matter.The data and the analysis presented in this manuscript provide some key information for further development (e.g., scale up) of ferrate-generating electrochemical reactors that could be used on-site for treatment of drinking water in remote communities (including First Nations) across Canada.
