When people hear the word “ozone,” they often think of the ozone layer—a protective shield located 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth that absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays. While ozone in the stratosphere plays a crucial role in protecting life, ozone at ground level (in the troposphere) tells a different story.
The Double-Edged Nature of Ozone
Ozone (O₃) is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms and is known for its powerful oxidizing properties. It’s widely used for disinfection, sterilization, odor control, and water treatment. However, ozone at elevated concentrations can be harmful to human health. As it passes through the respiratory system—including the nose, throat, trachea, and lungs—it can cause oxidative damage, leading to symptoms such as irritation, coughing, headaches, chest tightness, and fatigue. Prolonged exposure may even cause pulmonary edema or other serious respiratory conditions.
For industries that use ozone or produce it as a byproduct, managing its concentration in the air is essential. That’s where ozone decomposition catalysts come in.
How Does an Ozone Decomposition Catalyst Work?
An Ozone Decomposition Catalyst (also known as Ozone Destruction Catalyst) is specifically designed to break down ozone molecules into harmless oxygen (O₂) through a catalytic reaction. Unlike absorbents, these catalysts chemically transform ozone and do so efficiently at room temperature—without any external heating or complex system requirements.
When ozone-laden air passes through a properly designed system containing this catalyst, a reaction takes place that splits ozone into oxygen. It’s a simple, effective, and low-maintenance solution to a potentially hazardous problem.
DEAI CHEM’s Ozone Decomposition Catalyst
DEAI CHEM produces a high-performance ozone decomposition catalyst based on manganese dioxide and copper oxide. The catalyst is black to dark brown in color and offers excellent thermal and structural stability. It is available in four main formats to meet various industrial needs:
1. Powder: Ideal for custom blends or specialized filter media formulations.
2. Irregular Granules (4×8 and 8×14 mesh): Offer a high surface area and low-pressure drop, widely used in export markets.
3. Spherical Pellets (Ø2–5mm): Designed for uniform flow distribution and improved handling.
4. Columnar Pellets (Ø2mm, Ø3mm): Commonly used in domestic installations and industrial packed beds.
