RedOXY®-3C

Three-component granule technology for oxidation, coagulation and adsorption

Three-Component Remediation

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

RedOXY-3C Introduction

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

Fe(VI)

Ferrate-Based Oxidation (RED3X)

RED3X is described as an iron-based component with ferrate oxidation, catalytic and reduction-stabilization functions.

ROS

Reactive-Oxygen Generation (OXY3X)

OXY3X supports hydroxyl-radical and sulfate-radical chemistry for the transformation of susceptible organic and inorganic pollutants.

AX

Contaminant Adsorption (ADSORB3X)

ADSORB3X provides adsorption sites for selected dissolved pollutants and oxidation products, helping transfer contaminants from water to a separable solid phase.

SS

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.

Asked Questions

Contact Support
What is RedOXY®-3C?
It is a three-component granular formulation combining iron-based oxidation, reactive-oxygen chemistry and adsorption.
What do the three components do?
RED3X provides iron-based oxidation and catalyst functions, OXY3X supports radical formation, and ADSORB3X provides contaminant adsorption.
What is the published maximum dosage?
The brochure states a maximum of 30 g/m³, equivalent to 30 mg/L. The correct operational dose must be established through treatability testing.
Can it be spread directly by hand?
Manual spreading should not be recommended without a current SDS, exposure assessment and approved PPE procedure. Mechanical dosing is preferable for accuracy and worker protection.
Does one treatment permanently eliminate every contaminant?
No. Treatment frequency and performance depend on pollutant loading, water chemistry, continuing contamination, dose distribution and required finished-water standards.
Does RedOXY®-3C require filtration?
Yes. Oxidation and iron coagulation can generate suspended solids that must be separated from the treated water.
Does it remove heavy metals?
It may oxidize, precipitate, coagulate or adsorb selected metals. Physical separation and dissolved-versus-total metal testing are required to confirm removal.
Can it remove arsenic instantly?
No instant universal claim should be made. Arsenic performance depends on oxidation state, pH, competing ions, iron dose, contact time and filtration.
Does it create no disinfection by-products?
This cannot be guaranteed. All oxidants can form transformation products depending on the water matrix, and these must be assessed.
What is the role of Katalox-Light® or CRYSTOLITE®?
These filtration stages are proposed for removing FeOOH particles, coagulated material and pollutant-loaded solids after treatment.
Can treated water be used for drinking or irrigation?
Only after the complete treatment train and analytical results comply with the regulations applicable to the intended use.
How should performance be verified?
Use accredited laboratory testing before and after treatment, including dissolved and total contaminants, residual oxidant, iron, turbidity, toxicity and relevant microorganisms.
