| Abstract | Nitrate contamination of surface and groundwater is one of the most serious environmental issues due to its adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem. In this study, novel bimetallic catalysts supported by nanocrystalline beta zeolite (NBeta) were firstly developed for the complete and selective reduction of nitrate to environment-friendly nitrogen. The synthesis of a NBeta support and bimetallic catalysts was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transformation infra-red spectroscopy. The morphology of the NBeta support and metal dispersion was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray, which revealed that newly synthesized NBeta consisted of individually separated cubical shaped crystals and that the metals were well dispersed in uniform and closely packed ensembles. The nitrate reduction mechanism on NBeta-supported bimetallic catalysts was also identified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction, and H2 pulse chemisorption. All catalysts successfully achieved 100% NO3− and NO2− removal. Sn–Pd-NBeta showed the highest reduction kinetics (k = 19.09 × 10−2 min−1) followed by In–Pd-NBeta (k = 2.89 × 10−2 min−1) and Cu–Pd-NBeta (k = 2.31 × 10−2 min−1). However, N2 selectivity was in the order of Cu–Pd-NBeta (92.68%) > In–Pd-NBeta (82.93%) > Sn–Pd-NBeta (80.80%). Characterization of the catalysts revealed that the highest N2 selectivity of Cu–Pd-NBeta was due to the suppression of a deep hydrogenation capacity of Pd by Cu. The NBeta-supported Cu–Pd, In–Pd, and Sn–Pd catalysts also showed a complete NO3− reduction with consistent N2 selectivity in successive and regenerated cycles. The results suggest an eco-friendly catalytic system which can be applied to the optimal ex situ remediation of water and wastewater contaminated with nitrate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
