How to remove carbon monoxide?

As we all know, carbon monoxide gas has a huge negative impact on the human body and the environment. The famous writer Qiong Yao left because of carbon monoxide poisoning. So how is carbon monoxide gas produced? In what scenarios does it exist? How can carbon monoxide be removed more efficiently? To know the reasons and methods, then read on!
Carbon monoxide gas is the most widely distributed gas in the atmosphere. It is mainly produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances such as gasoline, charcoal, coal gas, natural gas, and liquefied gas.
It exists in a wide range of scenarios, such as exhaust gas emitted by cars, exhaust gas generated by charcoal heating in winter, and incomplete combustion of natural gas and liquefied gas in the kitchen. Therefore, carbon monoxide is closely related to our lives. Everyone must pay attention to protection in daily life to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
There are many methods for the treatment of carbon monoxide waste gas, such as natural ventilation, adsorption, catalytic combustion, and the use of carbon monoxide eliminators.
Natural ventilation is the simplest and most cost-effective method, but it will be affected by factors such as weather and environment. It may not be suitable in cold or hot weather. This method is also only applicable to various indoor environments, especially residential and office environments.
The adsorption method mainly uses activated carbon to adsorb carbon monoxide and separate it from the exhaust gas. After carbon monoxide enters the adsorbent, it will be adsorbed by the active points of the adsorbent. This method is more suitable for the treatment of low-concentration carbon monoxide waste gas, and the adsorbent has a high reuse rate, so the cost is relatively low, but the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent is limited, so it needs to be replaced frequently, and it cannot handle high-concentration carbon monoxide gas. This method is generally used in industries such as food processing plants.
The catalytic combustion method uses a catalyst to react carbon monoxide with oxygen at low temperature to generate carbon dioxide and water. This method has low operating costs and high treatment efficiency, but it is necessary to prevent the catalyst from being easily poisoned during use. This method is often used in industries such as petrochemicals.
Elimination with carbon monoxide eliminator As long as carbon monoxide is converted into harmless carbon dioxide through a catalytic reaction, the gas will not have any toxicity, and this method has high treatment efficiency and low energy consumption. It will not produce other harmful gases and is very environmentally friendly, but attention should be paid to regular replacement and maintenance during use.
