What are the effects of ozone decomposition catalysts containing activated carbon?

The function of the ozone decomposition catalyst is to decompose harmful ozone in the atmosphere into harmless oxygen and oxygen molecules. This catalyst reduces ozone concentrations by catalyzing a chemical reaction between oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3), converting ozone into oxygen.

If the ozone decomposition catalyst contains activated carbon, it may cause a series of side effects.

Activated carbon is a porous adsorbent that is usually made of carbon material. When the temperature rises to a certain level, the carbon material reacts with oxygen to produce flame and heat. Therefore, in industrial or laboratory applications, especially those involving high temperature environments, careful handling and storage of activated carbon is required to prevent accidental fires.

In general, activated carbon is generally less strong than metal oxides. Metal oxides generally include materials such as aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, and iron oxide, which contain metal and oxygen elements in their crystal structure. These metal oxides generally have higher physical strength and wear resistance than activated carbon because their structure is stronger. This gives metal oxides advantages in engineering materials, catalysts, and other applications that require a high degree of durability and strength.

MINSTRONG's ozone decomposition catalyst does not contain activated carbon and uses metal oxides for support, thus avoiding the above problems. This makes the catalyst safer and more resistant to heat and humidity, while also being stronger and able to degrade ozone more effectively without suffering from side effects.
