Potassium ferrate(VI), with the chemical formula K2FeO4, is an inorganic compound characterized by its bright purple color and strong oxidizing properties. It contains iron in the +6 oxidation state, which is relatively rare compared to its more common +2 and +3 states. This compound is typically encountered as a dark purple crystalline solid and is soluble in water, where it can dissociate to release ferrate ions. Potassium ferrate(VI) is known for its applications in water treatment, particularly for the removal of contaminants and disinfection due to its ability to oxidize various organic and inorganic substances. Additionally, it has potential uses in organic synthesis and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. However, handling potassium ferrate(VI) requires caution, as it can be hazardous and may react violently with reducing agents. Its stability is influenced by pH, with the compound being more stable in alkaline conditions. Overall, potassium ferrate(VI) is a versatile compound with significant utility in environmental chemistry and industrial applications.

Pure potassium ferrate is a dark purple glossy powder,stable below 198°C. It is easily soluble in water to form a light purple-red solution. After standing, it will decompose to release oxygen and precipitate hydrated ferric oxide. The alkalinity of the solution increases with decomposition, it is quite stable in strong alkaline solution, and it is an excellent oxidant.
