Selective photocatalytic reduction of nitrate to nitrogen molecules in an aqueous suspension of metal-loaded titanium(IV) oxide particles.
Nitrate was photocatalytically reduced to nitrogen molecules with a high selectivity in a basic aqueous suspension of palladium and copper-loaded titanium(IV) oxide powders in the presence of oxalate anion as a hole scavenger.
