TLDR
In this paper, a nitrate removal process that drastically reduces salt consumption and waste discharge has been developed on a bench scale, where Nitrate is removed by chloride ion-exchange, and the strong-base anion resin is completely regenerated at mild reaction conditions (i.e., ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure) in a closed circuit containing a single-flow fixed-bed reactor packed with a Pd-Cu/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst.

Removal of nitrate from aqueous solution by nitrate selective ion exchange resins

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented experimental results on the removal of nitrate by nitrate selective ion exchange resin, Purolite A 520E. The results showed that the presence of chloride and sulfate ions influenced the breakthrough capacity of the resin for nitrate removal.

Hydrogenation of Nitrate in Water to Nitrogen over Pd–Cu Supported on Active Carbon

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Pd-Cu catalysts at 333 K in a flow system to remove nitrate in water by hydrogenation and found that Pd and Cu were not dissolved when supported on active carbon, even at low pH reaction conditions.
