  Research Assistant

  Investigated the use of alumina catalyst and titania photocatalyst on the purification of water. Titania photocatalyst was used to remove metal ions from solution and to convert nitrogen based compounds into inert nitrogen gas. A reactor geometry that allowed for the electrolytic introduction of hydrogen gas for the reduction of nitrogen compounds over alumina catalyst was developed.
