The effect of weak acid anions on the selective catalytic wet air oxidation of aqueous ammonia to nitrogen

Abstract In this work, the effect of weak acid anions on the ammonia removal has been extensively studied for the process of selective catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of ammonia to nitrogen. It is found that the presence of weak acid anions can effectively enhance the ammonia conversion and selec...
