The primary role of an ozone decomposition catalyst is to convert harmful ozone in the atmosphere into harmless oxygen and oxygen molecules. This is achieved by catalyzing a chemical reaction between oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3), effectively reducing ozone concentrations.

However, it’s crucial to note that if the ozone decomposition catalyst contains activated carbon, certain side effects may arise. Activated carbon, a porous adsorbent made from carbon material, can undergo a reaction with oxygen, leading to flame and heat production, especially at elevated temperatures. Therefore, careful handling and storage are essential, particularly in industrial or laboratory settings with high-temperature environments, to prevent potential fire hazards.

In contrast, metal oxides, such as aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, and iron oxide, which are commonly found in DEAI CHEM’s ozone decomposition catalyst, generally exhibit higher physical strength and wear resistance compared to activated carbon. This is due to the stronger crystal structure formed by the combination of metal and oxygen elements. The enhanced durability and strength of metal oxides make them advantageous in various applications, including engineering materials and catalysts, where robust performance is crucial.

DEAI CHEM’s ozone decomposition catalyst stands out by avoiding the inclusion of activated carbon, ensuring safety, resilience to heat and humidity, and superior effectiveness in ozone degradation without the associated side effects. This strategic choice in material composition contributes to a catalyst that not only performs exceptionally but also meets stringent safety standards.
