ACTIVATED CARBON CLOTH-SUPPORTED BIMETALLIC PD-CU CATALYSTS FOR NITRATE REMOVAL FROM WATER

摘要

An activated carbon cloth-supported bimetallic Pd-Cu nanocatalyst is disclosed comprising about 1wt% Pd and about 0.35-0.45wt% Cu and having a surface Cu/Pd metal ratio of about 8-10 m2/m2. The nanocatalyst is capable of removing nitrate and/or nitrite from wastewater with a high selectivity to nitrogen
