Heterogeneous catalytic reduction of anthropogenic pollutant, 4-nitrophenol by Au/AC nanocatalysts

Activated carbon-supported gold nanocatalysts (Au/AC) were synthesized by the homogeneous deposition–precipitation (HDP) method by adding drop-wise of NaBH4 into the aqueous solution of HAuCl4. Catalytic activity of these nanocatalysts was investigated for the reduction of the anthropogenic pollutan...
