  • Inactivation in phosphate buffer (pH 6, 7, and 8) containing ferrate was effective and could be described by Hom's model [ 23 ] . The effectiveness of ferrate(VI) in wastewater treatment has been studied, and it exhibits a strong bactericidal effect on both coliforms and total bacteria [ 24 ] . However, the conditions used in those prior experiments with ferrate(VI) do not at all mimic the conditions that might be encountered on the surface or in the subsurface of much of Mars, where there is thought to be essentially no available water [ 15 ] , there is a highly oxidized atmosphere of mostly CO 2 , and average temperatures are very low (typically -60 to -80°C, but sometimes reaching temperatures near 0°C in areas of sunlight).
