Recent increase in the levels of concentrations of nitrate/nitrite and bromate in drinking water sources has raised concerns, as they are considered potential health hazards. In this work, removal of these contaminants using novel catalytic microreactors consisting carbon nanofiber layer supported Pd and Ru catalyst has been studied successfully.
