Hopcalite Catalyst: 'Air Purifier' at fire site

Fire scene, in addition to the raging fire, the most deadly is often those invisible and untouchable toxic gas. These gases mainly come from inadequate combustion, such as carbon monoxide (CO) is the most common "invisible killer". It can suffocate, even kill.

If the Hopcalite catalyst is not used, these toxic gases will spread wantonly at the fire site, seriously threatening the life safety of trapped people and rescue workers. Even if the fire is extinguished, the residual toxic gases will delay the progress of the rescue and increase the difficulty of the rescue.

The Hopcalite catalyst, like the "air purifier" at the scene of the fire, can effectively solve this problem. Its main components are manganese dioxide (MnO₂) and copper oxide (CuO), which are like "magicians" that can "turn waste into treasure" of toxic gases.

The application principle of Hopcalite catalyst is actually very simple:

Adsorption: Toxic gases from the fire site, such as carbon monoxide (CO), are adsorbed by the active site on the surface of the Hopcalite catalyst.

Catalytic oxidation: Under the action of the catalyst, carbon monoxide (CO) reacts with oxygen (O₂) in the air to produce non-toxic and harmless carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Release: The generated carbon dioxide (CO₂) is released from the surface of the catalyst to complete the purification process.

This process is like a "magic conversion" that converts deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into the carbon dioxide (CO₂) we exhale, thus purifying the air and protecting life.

Hopcalite catalysts have a wide range of applications at fire sites, such as:

Fire masks: The masks worn by firefighters contain Hopcalite catalysts, which can filter toxic gases in the inhaled air and ensure breathing safety.

Escape masks: Some public places are equipped with escape masks that also contain Hopcalite catalysts, which can help people safely escape the scene of a fire.

Air purification equipment: In site cleaning after a fire, air purification equipment equipped with Hopcalite catalyst will also be used to quickly remove residual toxic gases.

All in all, the Hopcalite catalyst is like the "patron saint" of the fire scene, silently guarding our life safety. Understanding its principles and applications can help us better respond to fires and protect ourselves and others.
