摘要
The thermochemical destruction of nitrate was conducted in an aqueous media. Six reducing agents (ammonia, formate, urea, glucose, methane, and hydrogen) were mixed separately with 3 wt % NO3- buffered aqueous solutions at pH 13; ammonia and formate were also mixed at pH 4. Reactions were conducted in a batch reactor in the absence of air at temperatures of 200-350-degrees-C and pressures of 600-2800 psig. Reaction times varied from 0.5 to 3.0 h. Both gas and liquid samples from the reaction were analyzed. The specific components analyzed were nitrate, nitrite, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, and ammonia. The observed order of nitrate reduction effectiveness in basic solution was formate > glucose > urea > hydrogen > ammonia almost-equal-to methane. Ammonia was more effective under acidic conditions than basic conditions. Formate was also effective under acidic conditions.
