| Abstract: | Pollution of groundwater with NO3– is a serious problem in the world. While catalytic reduction of NO3– over Pd-bimetallic catalysts including Cu-Pd and Sn-Pd is a promising method for purification of the groundwater, the use of precious metal is a major obstacle for practical applications. In the present study, we applied Ni/Al2O3 for the catalytic reduction of NO3– and compared the catalytic performance with that of unsupported Ni catalyst. The reaction rate over 5 wt.% Ni/Al2O3 was about 5 times higher than that of the unsupported Ni catalyst, based on unit weight of catalyst. While the unsupported Ni catalyst was completely deactivated in low partial pressure of H2 (=0.75 atm) and high concentration of NO3– (=800 ppm), Ni/Al2O3 was still active even under less reductive conditions ([NO3–]0 = 800 ppm and P(H2) =0.5 atm). The unsupported Ni catalyst had the Ni0 particles formed by the reduction of NiO with H2 at 310–420 °C. On the other hand, 5 wt.% Ni/Al2O3 possessed the Ni0 particles formed from NiAl2O4 on Al2O3 by the reduction with H2 above 450 °C. It is plausible that those Ni0 particles had different properties, giving different catalytic properties. The Ni loadings for Ni/Al2O3 had a significant impact on the catalytic properties. The reaction orders with respect to both NO3– and H2 were 0.8 for 5 wt.% Ni/Al2O3, while those were 0 and –0.2, respectively, for 10 wt.% Ni/Al2O3. On 10 wt.% Ni/Al2O3, there were two kinds of the Ni° particles, which were formed by low (310-420 °C) and high (above 450 °C) temperature H2 reductions. Unlike the Pd-bimetallic catalysts, the reduction of NO3– over Ni/Al2O3 did not proceed through NO2–. |
