Oxidation of ammonia to nitrate by sulfate radical?

I had a interesting read here where they looked at the possibility of oxidizing ammonia and found out that it makes nitrate
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30703674/

"During the treatment, ammonia was oxidized, via the direct attack of SO4- and/or by molecular chlorine produced from the reactions of chloride and sulfate radicals, into nitrate and nitrogen gas, while nitrite was not detected."

I think this might be the wrong link. I'm getting a medical journal about hypoketotic hypoglycemia.
