catalyst in the destruction of carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide (English name: carbon monoxide, abbreviated as CO) is a colorless, odorless gas. CO2 (carbon dioxide) is often produced when carbon and organic matter containing carbon are burned. However, incomplete combustion due to lack of oxygen produces CO. Once CO is inhaled, the oxygen transport capacity of the blood will decrease, causing poisoning symptoms. Symptoms start with headaches, nausea, and in worst cases, death. There are many ways to remove excess carbon monoxide, one of which is the use of catalyst removal, which is a very effective method. This kind of catalyst is generally called Hopcalite, Hopkalite or carbon monoxide destruction catalyst, carbon monoxide eliminator, carbon monoxide adsorption catalyst, etc.

Hopcalite is a granular chemical. It is based on the principle of a catalyst, which is a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction without itself participating in the reaction. In the carbon monoxide elimination process, Hopcalite is used to break down harmful carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. When carbon monoxide molecules in the air pass through the catalyst, their oxygen atoms react with the active sites on the surface of the catalyst, and CO and O2 react to generate CO2. This reaction converts harmful carbon monoxide into CO2, thereby achieving the purpose of absorbing carbon monoxide. It can be seen that the more active sites, the more conducive to the occurrence of carbon monoxide decomposition catalytic reaction. Here it refers to the specific surface area of the catalyst. Currently, Hopcalite with large specific surface area can be achieved in China, and the typical ones are the MINSTRONG series catalysts.

Hopcalite can be used in many fields. For example, air separation systems, air compressors, etc. are areas that require carbon monoxide elimination. When purchasing Hopcalite, you should choose a manufacturer with professional technical support. After all, the working conditions in each field are different. Hopcalite manufacturers will analyze each working condition and then recommend the appropriate Hopcalite. Hopcalite is generally composed of copper and manganese oxides. Although the composition of Hopcalite on the market is similar, the production processes are very different, and the final Hopcalite produced is very different. As a result, the technical parameters of Hopcalite are very different, such as specific surface area, catalyst strength, etc. Therefore, consumers should keep their eyes open and not be induced by price to ignore the quality requirements of the product itself.
