Photocatalytic nitrite reduction </p><p>To verify the platinum addition effect, tests with Pt monometallic catalysts were performed using NaNO2 (Riser S.A.) as nitrite source, under λ = 365 nm UV-A irradiation and hydrogen flow (150 mL/min). The Pt loading was 4% wt. and precursors were varied</p><p>3 (H2PtCl6∙6H2O; K2PtCl6). Initial nitrite solution was fixed to 50 mg/L, because it was the highest nitrite concentration obtained in the overall catalytic nitrate reduction tests.</p><p>Nitrite conversions are higher when increasing the amount of Pt, and using K 2PtCl6 instead of H2PtCl6∙6H2O. Although conversions are not high enough to reach the EU Normative</p><p>- - + (50 mg/L NO3 , 0.5 mg/L NO2 , 0.3 mg/L NH4 ) [1], it could be seen a tendency toward nitrogen selectivity against intermediate and by-product compounds. Thus, Pt addition benefits the selectivity to desired N2 gas.</p><p>Table 6 Catalytic performances of Pt/P25(H) and Pt/P25(K) in the photocatalytic reduction of</p><p>- NO2 after 6 hours of reaction</p><p>Conv - Sel - Sel + Sel Catalyst NO2 NO3 NH4 N2 (%) (%) (%) (%) Pt/P25(H) 19 20 28 52 Pt/P25(K) 34 12 43 46 - Experimental conditions: 0.2g catalyst/350 mL; 50 ppm NO2 ; 120 mL/min Ar </p><p>4.
