Oxidize pollutants / Capture reaction products / Polish the water
RedOXY®-3C combines ferrate-based oxidation, reactive-oxygen chemistry and adsorption in one granular formulation for surface water, groundwater and wastewater remediation.
The formulation contains three functional components: RED3X, OXY3X and ADSORB3X. RED3X provides iron-based oxidation and catalyst functions; OXY3X supports hydroxyl- and sulfate-radical formation; and ADSORB3X captures selected dissolved or oxidized contaminants. During treatment, iron-based reaction products may also form FeOOH particles that support coagulation and adsorption. A downstream filtration stage using CRYSTOLITE® or Katalox-Light® is recommended to separate suspended solids and pollutant-loaded particles from the treated water.
Three components / One integrated treatment process
One treatment platform.
Multiple remediation challenges.
Designed for professional treatment programs where oxidation, contaminant transformation, coagulation, adsorption and final filtration are required.
Surface-Water Restoration
Treatment of contaminated lakes, ponds, rivers and reservoirs.
Groundwater Remediation
Ex-situ or controlled in-situ treatment of affected groundwater following site assessment.
Industrial Wastewater
Treatment of wastewater containing oxidizable organics, sulfides, nutrients, colour and selected metals.
Hydrocarbon-Impacted Water
Oxidation support for water affected by aliphatic, aromatic and other petroleum-related compounds.
Micropollutant Treatment
Evaluation for phenols, endocrine-disrupting compounds and other difficult organic contaminants.
Water Reuse and Polishing
Integration with adsorption, filtration, biological treatment and reuse systems.
Three active components / One essential polishing stage
Ferrate-Based Oxidation (RED3X)
RED3X is described as an iron-based component with ferrate oxidation, catalytic and reduction-stabilization functions.
Reactive-Oxygen Generation (OXY3X)
OXY3X supports hydroxyl-radical and sulfate-radical chemistry for the transformation of susceptible organic and inorganic pollutants.
Contaminant Adsorption (ADSORB3X)
ADSORB3X provides adsorption sites for selected dissolved pollutants and oxidation products, helping transfer contaminants from water to a separable solid phase.
Coagulation and Final Filtration (SOLID-SEPARATION)
Iron-hydroxide particles and pollutant-loaded solids must be removed through settling or filtration using a suitable process such as CRYSTOLITE® or Katalox-Light®.
Science behind RedOXY®-3C
RedOXY®-3C is presented as a combined oxidation, coagulation and adsorption process rather than a single oxidant.
- Ferrate Oxidation – Ferrate ($Fe(VI)$) is a strong oxidizing iron species. Its performance and decomposition pathways depend on pH, water chemistry and reaction time.
- Hydroxyl-Radical Pathway – Iron-mediated activation of the OXY3X component is intended to create hydroxyl-radical oxidation similar to modified Fenton chemistry.
- Sulfate-Radical Pathway – The brochure describes sulfate-radical generation with an approximate standard reduction potential of 2.5–3.1 V, depending on reaction conditions.
- FeOOH Adsorption and Separation – Iron reactions may produce $FeOOH$ particles that coagulate or adsorb selected pollutants, which must then be physically removed from the water.
