Simultaneous photocatalytic removal of nitrate and oxalic acid over Cu2O/TiO2 and Cu2O/TiO2-AC composites

[Display omitted] •Copper promoted the photocatalytic performance of titania for nitrate reduction.•XPS, TPR and FTIR confirm that copper was present as Cu2O.•Addition of activated carbon reduced reaction rates but improved selectivity to N2.•System is stable with no detected loss of copper species....
