Why does the PPU air separation system use carbon monoxide catalyst?

The reason why the PPU air separation system uses a catalyst is that during its operation, incomplete combustion of fuel will produce carbon monoxide, such as natural gas, coal, etc. The combustion will produce carbon monoxide, and everyone must know the harm of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide also has a great impact on air separation equipment. The presence of carbon monoxide will reduce the purity of products such as oxygen and nitrogen, which will also affect the subsequent use of these gases. For example, if the oxygen purity is not enough, it will affect the safety of patients in the medical industry. Carbon monoxide will also corrode metal accessories, accelerate the corrosion and wear of equipment, shorten the service life of equipment, and thus affect the cost of enterprises. In many industrial production processes, the gas purity requirements for products are very high, and impurities such as carbon monoxide are likely to cause product quality degradation or even production failure.
At this time, carbon monoxide catalysts are needed. What is the main role of carbon monoxide catalysts in air separation systems? The main reason for using catalysts in PPU air separation systems is to remove carbon monoxide (CO) from the air, ensure the stable operation of air separation equipment and improve the quality of gas products. Carbon monoxide catalysts adsorb and remove carbon monoxide in the air through efficient adsorption and catalysis. It can quickly capture carbon monoxide molecules in the gas and adsorb carbon monoxide on its own surface. Under certain conditions, the catalyst can also cause carbon monoxide to react with oxygen and convert it into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon monoxide catalysts play a huge role in PPU air separation systems.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, I believe that there will be continuous progress in the research and improvement of carbon monoxide catalysts for PPU air separation pre-purifiers. Let carbon monoxide catalysts play a greater role!
