Belonging to the technical field of adsorption
catalysis and
air pollution control, the invention relates to preparation of a
room temperature formaldehyde catalyst. The invention is characterized in that:
zeolite,
sepiolite, a porous
activated carbon material,
cordierite or a self-made carrier is adopted as the catalyst carrier, one or more non-
noble metal oxides, like
magnesium oxide, aluminum
oxide,
silicon oxide,
manganese oxide,
iron oxide,
cobalt oxide,
nickel oxide,
copper oxide,
zinc oxide,
zirconium oxide,
lanthanum oxide or
cerium oxide are taken as
active components, and an impregnation technique is employed to prepare the catalyst, which can be powdery, strip, blocky, spherical or
honeycomb. The loading amount of the non-
noble metal oxides is 2-15wt%, and the content of the catalyst carrier is 85-98%. Under normal temperature and
ambient humidity conditions, the catalyst has the capacity of
catalytic oxidation of
formaldehyde into non-toxic and harmless CO2 and H2O up to over 95%, no
intermediate product is generated, and the catalyst has the characteristics of high
catalytic oxidation activity, strong
moisture resistant ability, stable operation, long service life and the like, thus being suitable for
formaldehyde purification treatment in offices, office buildings, living rooms, shopping malls, hospitals, hotels and other places.
