Ag/gamma-Al2O3 catalysts have been characterized in-depth during different thermo-chemical treatments by in situ diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectroscopy and quasi in situ Transmission Electron Microscopy. The combination of these techniques indicates that sintering and redispersion of silver is clearly observed from the increases and decreases in the absorption band intensity over the range of 250-600 nm due to the presence of silver clusters and silver nanoparticles. These results allow us to study the effect of the reaction feed on the metal dispersion at different operation conditions and discuss the formation of active sites during the selective catalytic reduction of O-2 with excess H-2 in the presence of unsaturated hydrocarbons. In this case high catalytic activity and selectivity toward the oxygen removal was achieved for this catalyst. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The semiconductor photocatalyst, platinised titanium dioxide, Pt/TiO2, is used to promote the destruction of bromate ions to bromide and oxygen by 254 nm ultraviolet light. The kinetics of bromate removal are first order with respect to [BrO3-] and are inhibited, although not completely, by competitive adsorption by other anions, including bromide and sulfate ions. The Pt/TiO2 can be used not only as a powder dispersion, but also as a thin film in a flow reactor for the destruction of bromate ions. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

Bromate in drinking water, at a level of microgrammes/litre, is a problem in ozonated waters but can be adsorbed, to a certain extent, by granular activated carbon. The adsorption capacity of granular activated carbon for bromate is significantly lowered when there are high concentrations of other anions, most notably chloride and sulphate, present in the water.
