Industrial gas purification is a complex field where various technologies are employed to remove unwanted contaminants and achieve desired product purity. Among the common contaminants, carbon monoxide (CO) presents a significant challenge across numerous sectors, from petrochemicals to electronics manufacturing. Both adsorption and catalytic conversion are key strategies for CO removal. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. leverages expertise in catalytic solutions, particularly for applications like propylene purification and broader hydrocarbon processing.

While adsorbents can effectively capture CO at specific temperatures and pressures, catalytic converters are often preferred for processes requiring deep CO removal, high-temperature operation, or situations where CO needs to be converted into a more manageable substance. Our metallic copper-based catalysts, supported by materials like zinc oxide, are designed for efficient catalytic conversion of CO. They are particularly effective in reducing CO concentrations to very low levels, often below 0.1 ppm, making them suitable for applications where trace impurities can be detrimental.

The catalytic mechanism typically involves the oxidation of CO to CO2, using either a co-fed oxidant or oxygen from the gas stream itself, depending on the process. The metallic copper acts as the primary site for CO adsorption and activation, facilitating its reaction with oxygen. These catalysts are engineered to perform optimally within a specific temperature range, generally between 80°C and 220°C, with peak performance often seen between 150°C and 220°C. This operating window is crucial for efficient energy usage and process integration.

For industries that need to buy catalyst for CO removal, the regenerability of the catalyst is a significant factor in long-term cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Our catalysts are designed to be regenerable, meaning their active sites can be restored after periods of use. This reduces waste and the need for frequent replacements, contributing to more environmentally friendly industrial practices. This is also important for processes that require consistent purity, such as the removal of trace CO from N2, where reliable performance is paramount.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. focuses on providing catalytic solutions that complement or surpass the capabilities of adsorption methods for CO removal in many industrial contexts. Our commitment to research and development ensures that we offer state-of-the-art catalysts that meet the evolving demands of industrial gas purification, enabling cleaner processes and higher quality products across a wide spectrum of industries.
