PROX = Preferential Oxidation
PROX Catalyst (Preferential Oxidation Catalyst for Carbon Monoxide)
PROX Catalyst by TANAKA Precious Metals
This catalyst is used to selectively oxidize carbon monoxide (CO) from reforming gas. Because CO degrades battery performance by causing poisoning of polymer electrolyte fuel cell electrodes, the concentration of CO in the reforming gas should be 10 ppm or below. We supply high quality PROX catalysts with excellent selectivity in order to satisfy customer needs.
PROX Catalyst Overview
■Features
- Highly dispersed precious metal helps a high catalytic activity even in regions with high space velocity
- High catalytic activity over a wide temperature range, from low to high
- Maintains a high catalytic activity even at a low precious metal content, making it possible to provide catalyst at low cost
