The presence and treatment of carbon monoxide

In daily life, carbon monoxide exists mainly in the form of a gas, exists in the flue gas generated by combustion, when carbon-containing fuels (such as coal, natural gas, gasoline, wood, etc.) are not completely burned, carbon monoxide will be produced. For example, the use of coal furnaces for heating in poorly ventilated rooms, coal combustion is insufficient, and the smoke produced contains carbon monoxide, which is very harmful to the human body.
Carbon monoxide enters the body almost entirely through respiratory inhalation. The reason is that carbon monoxide is a gas that can be inhaled by the body along with the air, through the trachea and bronchus to the alveoli, and then through the alveolar wall into the capillaries, and combined with hemoglobin in the blood. In contrast, the skin has structures such as the stratum corneum, which can block the intrusion of carbon monoxide, and digestive fluids such as gastric acid in the digestive tract will react chemically with many substances, but the chemical properties of carbon monoxide are relatively stable and will not be absorbed into the human body in the digestive tract.
There are many ways to produce carbon monoxide, in addition to indoor combustion, including industrial waste gas and automobile exhaust will produce carbon monoxide harmful gas, with the progress of science and technology, we have developed carbon monoxide catalyst.
It can be applied to the following scenarios:
Indoor air purification: In some indoor environments that may produce carbon monoxide, such as poorly ventilated kitchens, Spaces that use gas equipment, etc., air purification devices containing carbon monoxide catalysts can be placed to catalyze low concentrations of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, ensuring indoor air quality and human health.
Industrial waste gas treatment: In the production process of chemical, steel and other industries, waste gas containing carbon monoxide will be produced. By loading carbon monoxide catalyst in the waste gas treatment equipment, the carbon monoxide in the waste gas can be converted into carbon dioxide, reducing the pollution to the environment, so that it can meet the emission standards.
Automobile exhaust purification: carbon monoxide is produced during the combustion of automobile engines. The three-way catalytic converter is the key component of the automobile exhaust purification system, which contains platinum, palladium and other precious metal catalysts, which can not only catalyze the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, but also reduce nitrogen oxides to nitrogen, and oxidize hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water, so as to effectively reduce the pollution of automobile exhaust to the atmosphere.
