Copper oxide Catalyst: Invisible guardian in daily life

Copper oxide catalyst, as a cost-effective non-precious metal catalyst, has quietly integrated into our daily life. This catalyst plays an important role in air purification, waste gas treatment and other fields, silently guarding our living environment.
In household air purifiers, copper oxide catalysts decompose formaldehyde and other harmful gases by catalytic oxidation principle. When polluted air passes through the catalyst filter, formaldehyde molecules are adsorbed and activated on the surface of copper oxide, and react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. This process can be carried out at room temperature without additional energy consumption, allowing the air purifier to work continuously and efficiently.
In automobile exhaust treatment system, copper oxide, as an important component of ternary catalyst, participates in the oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Its unique electronic structure can effectively activate oxygen molecules and promote the conversion of harmful gases. When a catalyst containing copper oxide was used in one brand of vehicles, exhaust emissions were reduced by 30%, significantly improving environmental performance.
In industrial production, copper oxide catalysts are used to treat waste gases containing VOCs. Its good thermal stability and anti-poisoning properties enable it to maintain high catalytic activity under complex working conditions. After a chemical plant adopts this technology, the annual waste gas treatment volume reaches 1 million cubic meters, and the VOCs removal rate is stable at more than 95%.
