e.g., in the case of propranolol, ciprofloxacin, metoprolol, tramadol, atenolol (Rai
et al. 2018). In the case of β-blockers, due to their different structure, different
reaction pathways are observed. Generally, initial cleavage of an aromatic ring was
observed. Carbonyl products were formed with subsequent transformation to a
hydroxylamine derivative after the attack of ferrate on the amine moiety (Sharma
et al. 2016a). Some analgesics react with ferrate(VI) very slowly. In case of
tramadol, estimated degradation half-time is several minutes. Initially, ferrate reacts
