Abstract

Photocatalytic reduction of cobalt (II) has been carried out in the presence of bismuth vanadate as a reductant. The reaction was monitored spectrophotmetrically. The effect of various parameters on the rate of reduction was observed. It was observed that cobalt (II) was reduced to cobalt metal
