Main application areas of copper oxide

Copper oxide Mainly can be applied to
Energy field
Methane oxidation to methanol: In the engineering facilities of deep-water natural gas fields, using nano copper oxide as catalyst, methane can be converted into methanol in situ under low temperature and high pressure. Methanol is a hydrate inhibitor in natural gas pipelines and a chemical injection agent for natural gas hydrate exploitation, which is conducive to cost reduction and safety.
Fuel cells: Copper oxide catalysts can be used in fuel cells to promote oxygen reduction reactions and hydrogen oxidation reactions to improve the performance and efficiency of fuel cells.
Environmental protection field
Treatment of phenol-containing wastewater: Copper oxide can be used as the activator of persulfate at room temperature and under the condition of pH adjustment, it can work together with persulfate and bicarbonate to achieve the degradation of phenolic pollutants in phenol-containing wastewater, and the removal rate can reach 100%.
Automobile exhaust purification: In the automobile exhaust treatment, the copper oxide catalyst can participate in the oxidation reaction of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, converting them into carbon dioxide and water, reducing the pollution of the exhaust to the environment.
Chemical industry
Catalytic oxidation reaction: In organic synthesis, the copper oxide catalyst can be used for the oxidation reaction of alcohols, aldehydes and other organic substances to convert them into corresponding carboxylic acids or ketones.
Carbon dioxide electric reduction: In the field of electrochemistry, copper oxide catalysts can be used for the electric reduction reaction of carbon dioxide, converting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, formic acid, methanol and other high value-added chemicals, helping to alleviate the environmental energy crisis and help achieve carbon neutrality.以上翻译结果来自有道神经网络翻译（YNMT）· 通用场景
