Hopcalite Co Conversion Catalyst

Description

Hopcalite catalyst is one mixture of manganese dioxide, silver oxide and copper oxide to be used as catalyst to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide when exposed to the oxygen in air. One of the most common uses of Hopcalite-type mixtures is in air filtrations systems used to purify breathing air supplies, for example those utilized in scuba diving and firefighting.

​

It is used to effectively destroy carbon monoxide in compressed breathing air, respirators, escape masks, and in cryogenic gas purification. It also provides for removal of carbon monoxide in respirators/escape masks, as well as in the production of high purity nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Ambient temperature destruction of carbon monoxide and long catalyst lifetime provide a cost-effective solution to the removal of carbon monoxide
