Sodium ferrate (Na₂FeO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound containing iron in the ferrate oxidation state, belonging to the family of alkali metal ferrates. This material is primarily investigated in research and emerging applications rather than established mainstream industrial use, with potential applications in water treatment as an oxidizing agent and disinfectant, energy storage systems, and advanced ceramic or coating formulations. Engineers consider sodium ferrate compounds for sustainability-driven projects due to their oxidizing capabilities and the possibility of iron-based alternatives to conventional treatment chemicals, though deployment remains limited compared to traditional water treatment oxidants.
