Kt. Ranjit et al., PHOTOCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF NITRITE AND NITRATE IONS TO AMMONIA ON RUTIO2 CATALYSTS/, Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. A, Chemistry, 89(1), 1995, pp. 67-68
Metals which have high over potential can stabilized H-ads species. Th
us, Ru loaded TiO2 catalysts can be advantageously used for hydrogenat
ion/reduction reactions. This idea has been extended for the photocata
lytic reaction of nitrite and nitrate ions to ammonia and a scheme is
suggested for the reduction process.
