  • Water treatment using metal porphyrin
    Publication number: 20060118496
    Abstract: Water treatment method involves contacting water containing a dissolved contaminant or unwanted reducible species or a recoverable species and metal porphyrin as a reductive catalyst in the presence of an electron donor in a reactor under conditions to reduce the reducible species. The reduction of the contaminant or unwanted or recoverable species can be catalyzed by light or electrical activation of the metal porphyrin.
