N2O-Decomposition

The public discussion in the climate debate is focussing more and more on N2O emissions: N2O is 310 times more effective as a greenhouse gas than CO2.
N2O emissions arise, for example, in the production of nitric acid and other large scale technological processes and also in medical applications.
Without any problems, HeraPur® catalysts decompose N2O into its harmless components nitrogen and oxygen. For this there is a choice between two alternatives:
- special doped Rh catalysts: for the highly efficient treatment of dry, low-oxygen gas streams
- Pd/support catalysts: for the treatment of moist and oxygen-rich volume streams.
