“…Such a study would lend itself well to the use of Raman spectroscopy and a specially designed reaction cell so that transient chemical species, in particular, those of nitrogen, could be monitored throughout the course of the reaction. This experimental approach could lead to a better understanding of the apparent induction period for the nitrate reduction that has been observed in this study and reported by others (Kelm, Oser, andDrobnik 1986, Cecille and).…”
