Ozone is widely used across industrial and municipal processes for its strong oxidizing capability. However, residual ozone in exhaust streams presents a serious occupational and environmental hazard. Regulatory limits on ozone emissions continue to tighten, requiring solutions that are both technically reliable and operationally efficient.

 

 

DEAI CHEM’s Ozone Decomposition Catalyst is designed to address this challenge at the source—safely converting ozone into oxygen without secondary pollution or complex system requirements.

 

 

 

 

Catalyst Composition and Functional Design

 

 

The catalyst is a black to dark brown granular material composed of manganese dioxide (MnO₂) and copper oxide (CuO). This formulation has been proven effective for catalytic ozone decomposition due to its high redox activity and structural stability under continuous airflow conditions.

 

Unlike consumptive media, the catalyst functions through a true catalytic mechanism, enabling long-term ozone destruction without chemical depletion when operated within design parameters.

 

 

 

 

Operating Principle: Passive Ozone Destruction

 

 

In a properly engineered destruct system, ozone-laden air passes through a packed bed of the catalyst. Upon contact with the active surface, ozone molecules (O₃) are rapidly decomposed into molecular oxygen (O₂).

 

Key operational characteristics include:

 

✅Ambient-temperature operation
✅No external heat source required
✅No formation of secondary byproducts
✅Minimal routine maintenance

 

This passive reaction mechanism makes the catalyst particularly suitable for facilities seeking to reduce system complexity while maintaining compliance with emission standards.

 

 

 

 

Performance Under Real-World Conditions

 

 

Air pollution control systems often operate under non-ideal conditions, including:

 

• High or fluctuating humidity
• Variable gas flow rates
• Limited installation space
• Continuous or intermittent ozone generation

 

DEAI CHEM’s Ozone Decomposition Catalyst is engineered to perform reliably under these constraints when integrated into appropriately designed vessels, filter housings, or destruct units.

 

 

 

 

Typical Applications

 

 

The catalyst is widely applied in ozone off-gas treatment across multiple industries, including:

 

• Water and wastewater treatment
Ozone disinfection exhaust prior to atmospheric release

 

• Laboratory ventilation systems
Control of ozone generated during analytical or sterilization processes

 

• Corona treaters and non-thermal plasma systems
Removal of ozone byproducts from surface treatment and electronics manufacturing

 

• Industrial process exhaust
Where ozone is generated unintentionally during high-voltage or oxidative processes

 

 

 

Key Technical Parameters

 

Target pollutant: Ozone (O₃)
Catalyst form: Granular
Operating temperature: Ambient
Primary function: Catalytic conversion of ozone to oxygen
Key advantage: High efficiency with no secondary emissions

 

 

 

 

Designed for Integration and Compliance

 

 

DEAI CHEM focuses on catalytic solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing systems. The granular form allows flexibility in reactor design, enabling use in packed beds, cartridges, or custom housings depending on flow rate, residence time, and pressure drop requirements.

 

By addressing ozone emissions at the exhaust stage, facilities can meet regulatory obligations while improving workplace safety and environmental performance—without introducing unnecessary operational complexity.
