Abstract Details

2021, Master of Science, Miami University, Chemical, Paper and Biomedical Engineering.
The removal of nitrates in water were investigated using iron and iron/copper bimetallic particles supported on zeolites. Three different zeolites were loaded with 10 wt% iron and Cu:Fe ratio was taken as 0.05. The catalytic materials were prepared by a wet impregnation method followed by reduction in a hydrogen atmosphere at 700 ºC. The catalytic materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The characterization of catalysts demonstrated the presence of Fe and Cu on the surface of zeolites. The experimental variables, including the effect of the zeolite support and the presence of Fe and Cu on the zeolite were evaluated using the extent of reduction of nitrate in water as a measure of performance. Experimental trials revealed that nitrate can be reduced without ammonium release under unbuffered pH.
