Abstract
The electrochemical synthesis of sodium ferrate for water purification is a promising solution to the problem of clean water. The materials and methods required for the process are considered. Particular attention is paid to the material and technology of obtaining an electrolytic cell that ensures stable and safe production of sodium ferrate. Different recirculation rates and their influence on the final product are considered.
