High-Efficiency CO Removal Catalyst for Ultra-Pure Zero Air Systems


What Is a CO Catalyst in a Zero Air Generator?

CO catalyst for zero air generators is a critical purification material designed to remove carbon monoxide (CO) from compressed air streams. In high-precision gas analysis systems, even trace levels of CO can compromise measurement accuracy.

Our Hopcalite-type CO oxidation catalyst (Mn–Cu based) enables efficient CO removal under ambient or low-temperature conditions, ensuring stable production of ultra-pure zero air.

Why CO Removal Is Critical in Zero Air Systems

Zero air generators are widely used in:

  • Ambient air monitoring systems
  • Gas analyzers (O₃, NOx, SO₂)
  • Laboratory calibration systems
  • Semiconductor gas analysis

However, untreated air typically contains ppm-level CO, which can:

  • Interfere with analyzer signals
  • Cause baseline drift
  • Reduce calibration accuracy
  • Affect ozone measurement stability

Solution: A high-performance CO removal catalyst ensures CO levels are reduced to ppb or near-zero levels.

How the CO Removal Catalyst Works

Our Hopcalite catalyst promotes the oxidation of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide:

CO + 1/2 O₂ → CO₂

Key characteristics:

  • Operates at room temperature or low temperature 
  • No external energy required
  • Fast reaction kinetics
  • Ideal for continuous flow systems
