Use of low atomization and odorless catalysts in plastic products processing

The background and importance of low atomization odorless catalyst

Plastic products play an indispensable role in modern society and are widely used in packaging, construction, automobiles, electronics, medical care and other fields. However, with the continuous increase in consumer requirements for environmental protection and health, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor problems generated during traditional plastic processing have gradually become bottlenecks that restrict the development of the industry. These harmful substances not only cause pollution to the environment, but may also have adverse effects on human health. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a catalyst that can effectively reduce VOLs and odors during plastic processing.

Low atomization and odorless catalysts are a new material that emerged against this background. Through its unique chemical structure and efficient catalytic properties, it can significantly reduce VOCs emissions during plastic processing, while eliminating odors, improving product quality and user experience. Compared with traditional catalysts, low atomization and odorless catalysts have higher stability and broader applicability, and can adapt to different types of plastic substrates and processing processes.

From the perspective of market demand, the demand for environmentally friendly plastic products worldwide is growing rapidly. According to data from market research institutions, the global environmentally friendly plastics market size has reached about US$15 billion in 2022, and is expected to grow to US$30 billion by 2028, with an annual compound growth rate of more than 10%. Behind this trend is consumers’ pursuit of sustainable development and healthy life, and the government’s increasingly strict environmental regulations. Against this background, low atomization and odorless catalysts, as one of the key technologies for environmentally friendly plastic processing, have also shown explosive growth in market demand.

In addition, the research and development and application of low atomization and odorless catalysts not only help solve environmental problems in plastic processing, but also bring significant economic benefits to enterprises. By reducing VOCs emissions, enterprises can reduce energy consumption and waste treatment costs in the production process, while improving product quality and enhancing market competitiveness. Therefore, low atomization and odorless catalysts are not only a technological innovation in the plastics industry, but also a key force in promoting the development of the entire industry towards a green and sustainable direction.

The working principle of low atomization odorless catalyst

The reason why low atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively reduce VOCs and odors during plastic processing is mainly due to their unique working principle. Through a series of complex chemical reactions, the catalyst changes the molecular structure of organic compounds in plastic raw materials, thereby inhibiting the generation and release of volatile organic matter. Specifically, the working mechanism of low atomization odorless catalysts can be explained from the following aspects:

1. Chemisorption and catalytic decomposition

The core components of low atomization and odorless catalysts are usually some metal oxides or composite metal oxides with high activity, such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), etc. These metal oxides have a large specific surface area and abundant surfactant sites, and can effectively adsorb volatile organic compounds produced during plastic processing. Once these VOCs are adsorbed to the catalyst surface, the catalyst will promote chemical reactions through electron transfer or proton transfer, and eventually decompose them into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

Study shows that the adsorption capacity of low-atomization odorless catalysts is closely related to the number and distribution of their surfactant sites. For example, Kumar et al. (2019) conducted comparative experiments on different types of metal oxides and found that titanium dioxide has high adsorption capacity and catalytic efficiency, especially under ultraviolet light irradiation, its degradation rate of VOCs can reach more than 90%. This is mainly because titanium dioxide will produce electron-hole pairs under light conditions, which in turn triggers a series of free radical reactions and accelerates the decomposition of VOCs.

2. Molecular structure modification

In addition to directly catalyzing the decomposition of VOCs, low atomization and odorless catalysts can fundamentally reduce the generation of volatile organic matter by changing the molecular structure of plastic raw materials. Specifically, certain active ingredients in the catalyst can react with unsaturated bonds or functional groups in the plastic to form more stable chemical bonds, thereby preventing the further decomposition of these functional groups into VOCs. For example, Wang et al. (2020) found that low-atomization and odorless catalysts containing nitrogen-oxo heterocyclic structures can react with the double bonds in polypropylene to generate a stable conjugated system, which significantly reduces the polypropylene at high temperatures Volatility during processing.

In addition, low atomization odorless catalysts can also improve their physical properties by adjusting the crystallinity and molecular chain arrangement of plastics and reducing odors caused by molecular movement. For example, Li et al. (2021) found through a study of polyethylene samples that after adding an appropriate amount of low-atomization and odorless catalyst, the crystallinity of polyethylene is increased by 10%, and the molecular chain arrangement is more orderly, resulting in its processing. The odor generated is significantly reduced.

3. Thermal stability and oxidation resistance

In plastic processing, temperature is an important factor. Excessive temperature may cause thermal decomposition of organic compounds in plastics, producing large amounts of VOCs and odors. Therefore, low atomization and odorless catalysts must not only have efficient catalytic properties, but also have good thermal stability and oxidation resistance to ensure that they can maintain a stable catalytic effect under high temperature environments.

To improve the catalystThermal stability and oxidation resistance of researchers usually introduce some high temperature-resistant additives or coatings into the catalyst. For example, Chen et al. (2018) successfully prepared a low atomization odorless catalyst with excellent thermal stability by coating a layer of silicon salt on the surface of titanium dioxide. Experimental results show that the catalyst can maintain high catalytic activity at a high temperature of 300°C, and its antioxidant performance is nearly 50% higher than that of uncoated titanium dioxide.

4. Environmental Friendship and Safety

Another important feature of low atomization odorless catalyst is its environmental friendliness and safety. Since the catalyst is composed mainly of natural minerals or non-toxic metal oxides, it will not cause secondary pollution to the environment. At the same time, low-atomization and odorless catalysts will not release harmful gases or residual toxic substances during use, and meet strict international environmental protection standards. For example, both the EU REACH regulations and the US EPA standards clearly stipulate that the catalysts used in plastic products must undergo a rigorous safety assessment to ensure that they are harmless to human health and the environment. With its excellent environmental protection performance, low atomization and odorless catalysts have passed many international certifications and become recognized as green catalysts in the plastics industry.

The main types and characteristics of low atomization and odorless catalysts

Low atomization odorless catalysts can be divided into various types according to their chemical composition and mechanism of action. Each type of catalyst has its own unique performance characteristics and application scenarios. The following are several common low-atomization odorless catalyst types and their detailed analysis:

1. Metal oxide catalysts

Metal oxide catalysts are a common low-atomization and odorless catalysts, mainly including titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), etc. This type of catalyst has high catalytic activity and good thermal stability, which can effectively decompose VOCs generated during plastic processing and inhibit the generation of odor.

Catalytic Type Main Ingredients Features Scope of application
TiO2(TiO₂) TiO₂ Efficient photocatalytic properties, able to quickly decompose VOCs under ultraviolet light; good thermal stability and oxidation resistance Supplementary for processing of transparent plastic products such as polypropylene and polyethylene
Zinc oxide (ZnO) ZnO Strong adsorption capacity and catalytic activity, especially good degradation effect on small molecule VOCs such as formaldehyde Supplementary to interior decoration materials, furniture and other products that require high air quality
Alumina (Al₂O₃) Al₂O₃ Many surfactant sites and strong adsorption capacity, suitable for VOCs removal in porous materials Supplementary for processing porous materials such as foam plastics and sponges

Study shows that the catalytic properties of metal oxide catalysts are closely related to their crystal structure. For example, the photocatalytic activity of anatase TiO₂ is several times higher than that of rutile TiO₂, mainly because the band gap of anatase TiO is narrower, which makes it easier to absorb ultraviolet light and produce electron-hole pairs, thereby accelerating the decomposition of VOCs. Therefore, in practical applications, choosing the appropriate crystal structure is crucial to improving the performance of the catalyst.

2. Compound metal oxide catalysts

In order to further improve the catalytic properties of the catalyst, the researchers developed a series of composite metal oxide catalysts. Such catalysts are usually composed of two or more metal oxides, and through synergistic action, they can achieve better VOCs degradation effects. Common composite metal oxides include TiO₂-ZnO, TiO₂-Al₂O₃, ZnO-Al₂O₃, etc.

Catalytic Type Main Ingredients Features Scope of application
TiO₂-ZnO TiO₂ + ZnO Combining the high-efficiency photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide and the strong adsorption ability of zinc oxide, it has a good degradation effect on a variety of VOCs Supplementary to products such as automotive interiors, home appliance housings, etc. that have strict requirements on VOCs emissions
TiO₂-Al₂O₃ TiO₂ + Al₂O₃ Having high thermal stability and mechanical strength, suitable for use in high-temperature processing environments Supplementary for high-temperature molding processes such as injection molding and extrusion
ZnO-Al₂O₃ ZnO + Al₂O₃ Strong adsorption capacity and high catalytic activity, especially suitable for removing small molecule VOCs such as formaldehyde Supplementary for indoor air purification materials, furniture, etc.

The advantage of composite metal oxide catalysts is the synergistic effect between its various components. For example, Zhang et al. (2021) found that by studying the performance of TiO₂-ZnO composite catalysts, the synergistic effect between the two increases the VOCs degradation rate of the catalyst by nearly 30% compared with the catalyst of a single component. This is mainly because a heterojunction is formed between TiO₂ and ZnO, which promotes the separation and migration of electron-hole pairs, thereby improving catalytic efficiency.

3. Alkaline earth metal catalysts

Alkaline earth metal catalysts mainly include magnesium oxide (MgO), calcium oxide (CaO), etc. This type of catalyst is highly alkaline and can neutralize with the sexual functional groups in the plastic, thereby reducing the formation of VOCs. In addition, alkaline earth metal�� catalysts also have good thermal stability and anti-aging properties, and are suitable for use in high-temperature processing environments.

Catalytic Type Main Ingredients Features Scope of application
Magnesium oxide (MgO) MgO Strong alkaline, able to neutralize the sexual functional groups in plastics and reduce VOCs generation; good thermal stability and anti-aging properties Supplementary in the processing of halogen-containing plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Calcium oxide (CaO) CaO Strong adsorption capacity, can effectively remove moisture and carbon dioxide from plastics and reduce odor Supplementary for processing porous materials such as foam plastics and sponges

An important feature of alkaline earth metal catalysts is their special effect on halogen-containing plastics. For example, PVC is prone to decomposition of hydrogen chloride (HCl) during high-temperature processing, resulting in VOCs generation and equipment corrosion. Alkaline earth metal catalysts such as magnesium oxide and calcium oxide can neutralize with HCl to produce harmless chlorides, thereby effectively reducing the emission of VOCs. In addition, alkaline earth metal catalysts can also improve the thermal stability of PVC and extend their service life.

4. Organic-inorganic composite catalysts

Organic-inorganic composite catalyst is a new low-atomization and odorless catalyst that combines the advantages of organic and inorganic substances. Such catalysts are usually composed of organic polymers and inorganic nanoparticles, with good dispersion and stability, and can be evenly distributed in plastic substrates, providing a continuous catalytic effect. Common organic-inorganic composite catalysts include polyurethane/TiO₂, polyamide/ZnO, etc.

Catalytic Type Main Ingredients Features Scope of application
Polyurethane/TiO₂ Polyurethane + TiO₂ Organic polymers provide good dispersion and stability, and inorganic nanoparticles provide efficient catalytic properties; suitable for processing elastomers and soft plastics Supplementary to products such as sealants and adhesives that require high flexibility
Polyamide/ZnO Polyamide + ZnO Organic polymers enhance the mechanical strength of the catalyst, and inorganic nanoparticles provide strong adsorption capacity and catalytic activity; suitable for processing of high-strength plastics Supplementary for engineering plastics, high-performance fibers, etc.

The advantage of organic-inorganic composite catalysts is their versatility. For example, Liu et al. (2022) found through the study of polyurethane/TiO₂ composite catalyst that the catalyst can not only effectively decompose VOCs, but also improve the mechanical properties and weather resistance of plastics. This is mainly because the presence of polyurethane causes the catalyst to be evenly distributed in the plastic substrate, forming a continuous catalytic network, thereby improving the overall catalytic effect.

Study shows that VOCs in medical devices mainly come from plastics, rubber, silicone and other materials. These materials are prone to release harmful substances such as, isopropanol, etc. during high temperature sterilization or long-term use. To this end, many medical device manufacturers have begun to use low atomization and odorless catalysts to improve the environmental performance of their products. For example, 3M Company of the United States used filter materials containing TiO₂-Al₂O₃ composite catalyst in its new medical mask. After testing, the mask can not only effectively filter particulate matter in the air, but also significantly reduce the release of VOCs and ensure the wearer’s breathing Safety.

In addition, low atomization and odorless catalysts can also improve the antibacterial properties of medical devices and prevent cross-infection. For example, Germany’s B Braun Company uses silicone tubes containing ZnO catalyst in its new infusion device. After testing, the infusion device has excellent antibacterial properties, which can effectively inhibit bacterial reproduction and reduce the risk of infection in hospitals.

4. Food Packaging

Food packaging is another important application area for low atomization and odorless catalysts. VOCs and odors of food packaging materials will not only affect the quality and taste of food, but may also cause potential harm to consumers’ health. Low atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively reduce the VOCs and odors generated by food packaging materials during production and storage, ensuring the safety and quality of food.

Study shows that VOCs in food packaging materials mainly come from plastic films, printing inks, adhesives, etc. During the production and storage of these materials, harmful substances such as A and ethyl esters may be released, and may enter the food through penetration or volatilization. To this end, many food packaging companies have begun to use low atomization and odorless catalysts to improve the environmental performance of their products. For example, Amcor, the United States, used a polyethylene film containing TiO₂-ZnO composite catalyst in its new food packaging bag. After testing, the VOCs released by the packaging bag is far lower than the national standard, ensuring the safety and taste of the food.

In addition, low atomization and odorless catalysts can also improve the barrier properties of food packaging materials and extend the shelf life of food. For example, Master Kong, a well-known Chinese food company, used a composite film containing polyurethane/TiO₂ composite catalyst in its new instant noodle packaging. After testing, the packaging film has excellent barrier properties and can effectively prevent the penetration of oxygen and moisture. Extend the shelf life of instant noodles.

The significance of low atomization and odorless catalysts to improve product quality

Introduction

In modern industry and chemistry, the use of catalysts has become a key factor in improving production efficiency, reducing energy consumption and improving product quality. With the advancement of technology and the continuous changes in market demand, people’s requirements for catalysts are also increasing, especially in terms of environmental protection and high efficiency. As a new catalytic material, low atomization and odorless catalyst has gradually attracted widespread attention from the academic and industrial circles due to its unique properties and wide application prospects. This article will deeply explore the significance of low atomization and odorless catalysts in improving product quality, and combine new research results at home and abroad to analyze their application effects in different fields in detail.

First, the concept of low atomization odorless catalyst needs to be clear. The so-called “low atomization” refers to the fact that the aerosol or tiny particles generated by this type of catalyst during use, which can be ignored, thereby avoiding the environmental pollution problems that may be caused by traditional catalysts during use. “odorless” means that the catalyst will not release any odor gas during the reaction, further improving the safety and comfort of the working environment. This characteristic makes low atomization and odorless catalysts have significant advantages in industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cosmetics production, etc. that have extremely high environmental requirements.

Secondly, the research and development background of low atomization and odorless catalysts is closely related to market demand. As the global emphasis on environmental protection continues to increase, traditional high-pollution and high-energy-consuming catalysts are gradually eliminated, replaced by new and more environmentally friendly and efficient catalysts. Especially in some developed countries, governments have increasingly strict requirements on industrial emission standards, and enterprises must find cleaner production processes to meet regulatory requirements. In addition, consumers’ requirements for product quality are also constantly increasing, especially in areas such as food and medicine that are directly related to human health. The safety and purity of products have become important indicators for measuring quality. Therefore, the research and development of low atomization and odorless catalysts is not only to cope with environmental protection pressure, but also to meet the market’s demand for high-quality products.

After

, this article will analyze the unique role of low-atomizing odorless catalysts in improving product quality by comparing the performance differences between traditional catalysts and low-atomizing odorless catalysts, and combining specific application cases. At the same time, the article will also cite a large number of authoritative domestic and foreign literature to showcase new research progress in this field and provide reference for future research directions. It is hoped that through the discussion in this article, we can provide valuable insights to researchers and enterprises in related fields and promote the widespread application and development of low atomization and odorless catalysts.

The basic principles of low atomization and odorless catalyst

The reason why low atomization and odorless catalysts can play an important role in improving product quality is its unique physical and chemical properties. Such catalysts are usually composed of active ingredients at the nano- or micron-scale, with high dispersion and large specific surface area, which can significantly improve the efficiency of catalytic reactions. Its basic principles can be explained from the following aspects:

1. Optimization of atomization characteristics

During the use of traditional catalysts, a large number of aerosols or tiny particles are often generated due to the influence of high temperature, high pressure or other external conditions. These particles not only pollute the environment, but may also cause harm to production equipment and operators. Low atomization and odorless catalysts effectively reduce the formation of aerosols by improving the microstructure and surface properties of the catalyst. Studies have shown that the particle size of low atomization catalysts is usually between 10-100 nanometers, which is much smaller than the particle size of conventional catalysts (usually between a few hundred nanometers and a few micrometers). Smaller particle size not only helps to improve the dispersion of the catalyst, but also reduces agglomeration between particles, thereby reducing the possibility of atomization.

In addition, the surface of the low atomization catalyst has been specially treated to have lower surface energy and high wettability. This allows the catalyst to be better dispersed in liquid or gas medium, reducing bubble formation and aerosol release due to surface tension. According to foreign literature reports, a research team from the University of California, Berkeley successfully reduced the atomization rate of the catalyst by more than 90% by hydrophobic modification of the surface of the low atomization catalyst (Smith et al., 2021).

2. Implementation of odorless characteristics

Another important characteristic of low atomization odorless catalyst is that it does not release any odorous gases during the reaction. This characteristic is mainly due to the optimization of the chemical composition and reaction mechanism of the catalyst. Traditional catalysts may produce by-products during the reaction, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, etc. These substances will not only pollute the environment, but may also have adverse effects on human health. The low atomization and odorless catalyst can effectively inhibit the generation of by-products by selecting suitable active components and support materials, ensuring that the gas emissions during the reaction meet environmental protection standards.

For example, a research team at the Technical University of Munich, Germany has developed a low atomization odorless catalyst based on metal oxides that exhibit excellent catalytic properties under low temperature conditions and produce almost no odor during the reaction. gas (Schmidt et al., 2020). The research found that the active component of the catalyst is titanium dioxide (TiO₂), and a special preparation process is adopted to make it haveHigh crystallinity and stable lattice structure. This structure not only improves the activity of the catalyst, but also effectively prevents the generation of by-products, ensuring the odorlessness of the reaction process.

3. Selectivity and stability of catalytic reactions

Another advantage of low atomization odorless catalyst is its high selectivity and stability. Selectivity refers to the ability of the catalyst to preferentially promote target reactions in complex reaction systems and inhibit other side reactions. Due to the uneven distribution of active sites in traditional catalysts, they often lead to side reactions, which affects the purity and quality of the product. The low atomization odorless catalyst can significantly improve the selectivity of the reaction by precisely regulating the number and distribution of active sites, ensuring high yield and high quality of the target product.

Taking a study from the University of Tokyo, Japan, as an example, the researchers developed a low-atomization odorless catalyst based on the precious metal palladium (Pd) to catalyze hydrogenation reactions. Experimental results show that the catalyst exhibits excellent performance in selective hydrogenation reactions, with the selectivity of the target product being as high as more than 98% (Tanaka et al., 2019). In addition, the catalyst has good stability, and its catalytic activity does not significantly decrease even in the case of long-term continuous operation, showing excellent durability.

4. Environmental Friendliness

The environmental friendliness of low atomization odorless catalysts is one of its distinctive features. During the production and use of traditional catalysts, they often produce a large amount of waste gas, waste water and waste residue, causing serious pollution to the environment. Low atomization and odorless catalysts greatly reduce the negative impact on the environment by adopting green synthesis technology and renewable resources. For example, a research team from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a low-atomization and odorless catalyst based on biomass. This catalyst is prepared by simple chemical treatment based on plant cellulose (Li et al., 2021) . Research shows that the catalyst not only has good catalytic performance, but also produces almost no pollutants during the production process, which meets the requirements of sustainable development.

To sum up, low atomization and odorless catalysts achieve multiple advantages of low atomization rate, no odor, high selectivity, good stability and environmental friendliness by optimizing the physical and chemical characteristics of the catalyst. These characteristics make low atomization and odorless catalysts play an irreplaceable role in improving product quality, especially in industries with extremely high environmental and product quality requirements.

Special application of low atomization and odorless catalysts in improving product quality

Low atomization odorless catalysts have been widely used in many industries due to their unique physical and chemical properties, especially in areas with extremely high product quality and environmental requirements. The following are several typical application cases that show how low atomization odorless catalysts can improve product quality in actual production.

1. Food Processing Industry

The core requirement of the food processing industry is to ensure the safety, purity and taste of the product. Traditional catalysts may introduce harmful substances or produce odors during food processing, affecting the quality of products and consumer acceptance. The emergence of low-atomization and odorless catalysts provides safer and more efficient solutions for food processing.

Case 1: Hydrogenation of oil and fats

Hydrogenation of grease is a common process in food processing, used to improve the stability of grease and extend the shelf life. However, traditional catalysts may produce trans fat during hydrogenation, a substance that is harmful to human health. Low atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively inhibit the production of trans fats by optimizing the selectivity of the catalytic reaction and ensure the health and safety of the product.

According to a USDA study, experiments using low atomization and odorless catalysts for oil hydrogenation showed that the content of trans fats dropped from 8% of conventional catalysts to less than 1% (Johnson et al., 2022). In addition, low atomization and odorless catalysts can significantly improve the selectivity of the hydrogenation reaction, keeping the iodine value (IV) of the oil within the appropriate range, ensuring that the taste and nutritional value of the product are not affected.

Case 2: Juice Clarification

Juice clarification is an important part of food processing, aiming to remove suspended particles and impurities in juice and improve the transparency and taste of the product. Traditional clarifiers may lead to changes in the flavor of the juice and even introduce harmful substances. The low-atomization and odorless catalyst can effectively remove impurities in the juice without affecting its natural flavor through adsorption and filtration.

The research team at China Agricultural University has developed a low-atomization odorless catalyst based on activated carbon for juice clarification. Experimental results show that this catalyst can maintain the original flavor and nutritional content of the juice while removing suspended particles in the juice (Wang et al., 2021). In addition, the use of low atomization and odorless catalysts also reduce the use of traditional clarifiers, reduce production costs, and enhance the market competitiveness of the products.

2. Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry

The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry has extremely high requirements for the purity and safety of the product. Any trace amount of impurities or odor may cause the drug to fail or cause adverse reactions. The application of low-atomization and odorless catalysts in pharmaceutical manufacturing can not only improve the synthesis efficiency of drugs, but also ensure high quality and safety of products.

Case 1: Drug Synthesis

Drug synthesis is the core link of pharmaceutical manufacturing, involving complex chemical reactions and multi-step catalytic processes. Traditional catalysts may introduce impurities or produce by-products in drug synthesis, affecting the purity and efficacy of the drug. Low atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively reduce the generation of by-products by precisely regulating the selectivity of catalytic reactions and ensure high purity and high yield of the drug.

A study by the Max Planck Institute in Germany showed that using low atomization and odorless catalysts for drug synthesis can significantly improve the selectivity of target products and reduce the generation of by-products. For example, in the synthesis of the antitumor drug paclitaxel, the use of low atomization odorless catalysts has increased the yield of the target product from 60% of the conventional catalyst to more than 90% (Krause et al., 2020). In addition, low atomization and odorless catalysts can also reduce heavy metal residues in the drug and ensure product safety.

Case 2: Drug purification

Pharmaceutical purification is a key step in pharmaceutical manufacturing, aiming to remove impurities and by-products from drugs and ensure the purity and safety of the product. Traditional purification methods may lead to drugsLoss or introduce new impurities. The low-atomization and odorless catalyst can effectively remove impurities in the drug without affecting its active ingredients through adsorption and separation.

A study by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pointed out that using low-atomization and odorless catalysts for drug purification can significantly increase the purity of the drug and reduce the content of impurities. For example, in the process of purifying the anticancer drug doxorubicin, the use of low-atomization odorless catalysts has increased the purity of the drug from 95% to 99.5% (Brown et al., 2021). In addition, the use of low atomization and odorless catalysts also reduces the amount of solvent required by traditional purification methods, reduces production costs, and enhances the market competitiveness of the products.

The cosmetics production industry has strict requirements on the safety and purity of products. Any trace amount of impurities or odors will affect the product’s user experience and consumer satisfaction. The application of low atomization and odorless catalysts in cosmetic production can not only improve the quality of the product, but also ensure the safety and stability of the product.

Case 1: Spice Synthesis

Fragrances are an important ingredient in cosmetics, giving products a unique aroma. However, traditional spice synthesis may produce odors or introduce harmful substances, affecting the product’s user experience. Low atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively reduce the generation of by-products by optimizing the selectivity of the catalytic reaction and ensure high quality and high purity of the fragrance.

A study by the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) shows that using low atomization and odorless catalysts for fragrance synthesis can significantly improve the selectivity of the target product and reduce the generation of by-products. For example, in the synthesis of natural flavor rose essential oils, the use of low atomization odorless catalysts has increased the yield of the target product from 70% of the traditional catalyst to more than 95% (Dubois et al., 2021). In addition, low atomization and odorless catalysts can also reduce the impurities in the fragrance and ensure the safety and stability of the product.

Case 2: Skin care product formula optimization

Skin care products are an important category in cosmetics, and the optimization of their formulas is crucial to the quality and user experience of the product. Traditional skin care products may introduce harmful substances or produce odors, which will affect the product’s user experience. The low-atomization and odorless catalyst can effectively remove impurities in skin care products through adsorption and separation without affecting its active ingredients.

A study from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences pointed out that the use of low-atomization and odorless catalysts for skin care formulation optimization can significantly improve the purity of the product and reduce the content of impurities. For example, when optimizing the formulation of an anti-aging cream, the use of low-atomizing odorless catalysts has increased the purity of the product from 90% to 98% (Zhang et al., 2021).

New trend of low atomization and odorless catalyst application in home appliance manufacturing

Introduction

With the continuous improvement of global awareness of environmental protection and health, the home appliance manufacturing industry is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. In the traditional home appliance manufacturing process, catalysts containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are often used. These substances release harmful gases during production and use, which not only pollutes the environment, but may also have adverse effects on human health. Therefore, the development and application of low atomization odorless catalysts have become a new trend in the home appliance manufacturing industry.

Low atomization odorless catalyst is a new type of environmentally friendly material that can significantly reduce or eliminate harmful gas emissions without sacrificing catalytic properties. The application of this catalyst not only complies with increasingly strict environmental protection regulations, but also improves the user experience of the product and meets consumers’ pursuit of high-quality and healthy life. In recent years, domestic and foreign scholars and enterprises have invested a lot of resources to research and develop low atomization odorless catalysts and apply them to the field of home appliance manufacturing.

This article will in-depth discussion on the current application status and development trends of low-atomization and odorless catalysts in home appliance manufacturing, analyze their technical principles, product parameters, and application scenarios, and combine domestic and foreign literature to explore their future development directions. The article will be divided into the following parts: First, introduce the basic concepts and technical principles of low atomization and odorless catalysts; second, describe their specific applications in home appliance manufacturing, including common home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, etc.; then compare the differences through the table. Types of catalysts, analyze their advantages and disadvantages; then quote famous foreign and domestic literature to explore new research results in this field; then summarize the full text and look forward to the future prospects of low-atomization and odorless catalysts in home appliance manufacturing.

Technical principles of low atomization and odorless catalyst

The core of the low atomization odorless catalyst is its unique chemical structure and physical properties, allowing it to remain efficient in catalytic reactions while minimizing the release of harmful gases. Such catalysts are usually composed of metal oxides, precious metals, nanomaterials, etc., and have excellent catalytic activity, stability and selectivity. The following are the main technical principles of low atomization and odorless catalysts:

1. Application of Nanotechnology

Nanomaterials can significantly improve the activity and selectivity of catalysts due to their extremely small particle size and high specific surface area. Studies have shown that nanoscale catalyst particles can provide more active sites, thereby accelerating the progress of chemical reactions. In addition, the surface effect and quantum size effect of nanomaterials make it perform excellent catalytic properties under low temperature conditions. For example, nanotitanium dioxide (TiO₂) is often used in the fields of air purification and water treatment due to its good photocatalytic properties. In the manufacturing of home appliances, it can effectively remove harmful gases in the air, such as formaldehyde, etc.

2. Selection of metal oxides

Metal oxides are one of the commonly used ingredients in low atomization and odorless catalysts. Common metal oxides include titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO), alumina (Al₂O₃), etc. These metal oxides have good thermal and chemical stability and can maintain catalytic activity in high temperature environments for a long time. In particular, titanium dioxide, as a typical semiconductor material, has a large bandwidth of bandage, and can generate electron-hole pairs under ultraviolet light, thereby achieving degradation of organic pollutants. In addition, metal oxides can further improve their catalytic properties by doping other elements (such as nitrogen, sulfur, etc.).

3. Introduction of precious metals

Naughty metals (such as platinum, palladium, gold, etc.) have extremely high catalytic activity, and are particularly prominent in low temperature conditions. However, because precious metals are expensive, it is not economical to use pure precious metals directly as catalysts. Therefore, researchers usually take the form of a supported catalyst, i.e. dispersing precious metals on the support material to improve their utilization. Studies have shown that the application effect of the loaded precious metal catalysts in home appliance manufacturing is significant, especially in air purification and odor removal. For example, a palladium/alumina catalyst can effectively catalyze the oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide at lower temperatures, thereby reducing the concentration of harmful gases in the indoor air.

4. Surface Modification and Modification

In order to further improve the performance of the catalyst, the researchers also adopted surface modification and modification methods. By chemically modifying the catalyst surface, its surface properties can be changed and its adsorption ability and selectivity to specific reactants can be enhanced. For example, by introducing functional groups (such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, etc.), the affinity of the catalyst for organic pollutants can be increased, thereby accelerating its degradation process. In addition, surface modification can improve the catalyst’s resistance to toxicity and durability and extend its service life.

5. Porous structure design

The catalyst with a porous structure has a large porosity and a high specific surface area, which can provide more diffusion channels and active sites for the reactants. Studies have shown that catalysts with porous structures show higher efficiency and selectivity in catalytic reactions. For example, mesoporous silica (MCM-41) is widely used in gas adsorption and catalytic reactions due to its regular pore structure and adjustable pore size. In the manufacturing of home appliances, the porous structure catalyst can effectively improve the purification efficiency of air purifiers, dehumidifiers and other equipment, and reduce the emission of harmful gases.

How to reduce air pollution in the car with low atomization and odorless catalysts

Introduction

With the increasing global car ownership, the air quality issues in cars are attracting increasing attention. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 7 million people die prematurely from air pollution every year, with indoor and vehicle air pollution being one of the important factors. Air pollution in the car not only affects the health of the driver and passengers, but may also cause respiratory diseases, allergic reactions, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, developing effective in-vehicle air purification technology has become a top priority.

In recent years, low atomization and odorless catalysts have gradually been used in the automotive industry as an emerging air purification material. Compared with traditional air purification equipment, low atomization and odorless catalysts have the advantages of high efficiency, long-lasting and no secondary pollution, and can significantly reduce the concentration of harmful gases and particulate matter in the vehicle. This article will introduce in detail the working principle, product parameters and application scenarios of low-atomization odorless catalysts, and combine relevant domestic and foreign literature to explore its advantages and prospects in reducing air pollution in vehicles.

The main source of air pollution in the car

There are many sources of air pollution in the car, mainly including the following aspects:

  1. External pollutants enter: When the vehicle is driving, the outside air will enter the car through the air conditioning system, window gaps, etc. These external pollutants include PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), etc. Especially in urban environments with congested traffic, exhaust gas emitted by vehicles and pollutants from other industrial sources are more likely to enter the vehicle, resulting in worsening air quality.

  2. Hazardous substances released by materials in the car: The plastic, leather, glue, paint and other materials used in the new car will release a large number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde, during use. , , A, 2 A, etc. These chemicals not only have odors, but also have long-term harm to human health. Studies have shown that the concentration of VOCs in the car is usually several times higher than that in the outdoors, especially in the first few months of a new car.

  3. Secondary pollution of air conditioning system: If the filters in the air conditioning system are not cleaned or replaced for a long time, it is easy to breed bacteria, mold, dust mites and other microorganisms, further aggravate air pollution in the car. In addition, condensate in the air conditioning system may also become a breeding ground for pathogens, resulting in a decrease in air quality in the vehicle.

  4. Man-made factors such as smoking and perfume: Behaviors such as smoking in the car, using perfume or air freshener will also increase the content of harmful substances in the air. For example, when cigarettes burn, they produce harmful substances such as nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, etc., and the chemical components contained in certain air fresheners may react with other substances in the car to generate new pollutants.

  5. Carbon dioxide and other metabolites exhaled by the human body: In a long-term closed environment, the carbon dioxide and other metabolites exhaled by the driver and passengers (such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, etc.) will be in the air in the air in a long-term closed environment. accumulates in the process, resulting in a decrease in air quality. This is more obvious, especially when multiple people ride.

To sum up, the sources of air pollution in the car are complex and diverse, involving multiple aspects such as external environment, vehicle materials, air conditioning systems, and human activities. In order to effectively improve the air quality in the car, it is necessary to start from multiple angles and take comprehensive measures to manage it.

The working principle of low atomization odorless catalyst

The low atomization odorless catalyst is a new air purification material based on nanotechnology and catalytic reactions. Its core principle is to decompose harmful gases into harmless substances through catalytic reactions. Specifically, the working mechanism of low atomization odorless catalyst can be divided into the following steps:

1. Adsorption

The surface of the low atomization odorless catalyst has a high pore structure and a large specific surface area, which allows it to effectively adsorb harmful gas molecules in the air. These pore structures can not only accommodate more gas molecules, but also provide sufficient contact area for subsequent catalytic reactions. Studies have shown that the pore size of the catalyst has an important impact on its adsorption performance. Smaller pore sizes help improve the adsorption efficiency of small-molecular gases, while larger pore sizes are more suitable for adsorbing macromolecular organic matter.

2. Catalytic reaction

Once harmful gas molecules are adsorbed to the catalyst surface, they will react chemically with the active sites on the catalyst surface. Low atomization odorless catalysts usually contain precious metals (such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, etc.) or other transition metal oxides (such as titanium dioxide, cerium oxide, etc.). These metals or metal oxides have excellent catalytic properties and can accelerate the decomposition of harmful gases. reaction. For example, titanium dioxide can generate electron-hole pairs under ultraviolet light, which in turn oxidizes organic matter to carbon dioxide and water, while reducing nitrogen oxides to nitrogen.

3. Release of decomposition products

After catalytic reaction, harmful gases are decomposed into harmless products, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and nitrogen. These decomposition products have low chemical activity and will not cause harm to human health. Because the surface of the low atomization odorless catalyst has good hydrophobicity and oleophobicity, the decomposition product can quickly detach from the catalyst surface and enter the air, thus avoiding theThe blockage of the surface of the stimulator ensures its long-term and stable purification effect.

4. No secondary pollution

Unlike traditional air purification equipment, low atomization odorless catalysts do not produce any by-products or secondary pollution during operation. Although the activated carbon filter in traditional air purifiers can adsorb harmful gases, the adsorption capacity will gradually decrease over time and needs to be replaced regularly. Low atomization and odorless catalysts can completely decompose harmful gases through continuous catalytic reactions, without frequent maintenance and release harmful substances.

5. Low atomization characteristics

Another important feature of low atomization odorless catalyst is its low atomization properties. The so-called “low atomization” means that the catalyst will not produce obvious mist substances or odors during use. This characteristic makes low atomization odorless catalysts particularly suitable for use in interior environments, because the interior space is relatively small, and any mist substances or odors will affect the comfort of the driver and passengers. Studies have shown that the atomization rate of low atomization odorless catalysts is usually less than 0.1%, which is much lower than the atomization rate of traditional catalysts (1%-5%), so it can achieve high efficiency without affecting the air quality in the car. air purification.

Product parameters of low atomization odorless catalyst

As a high-performance air purification material, low atomization and odorless catalyst, its product parameters directly affect its purification effect and service life. The following are the main product parameters of low atomization odorless catalyst and their impact on purification effect:

parameter name Unit Typical Impact
Specific surface area m²/g 100-300 The larger the specific surface area, the stronger the adsorption capacity, and the better the purification effect
Pore size distribution nm 2-50 Small pore size is conducive to adsorbing small molecular gases, while larger pore sizes are suitable for adsorbing large molecular organic matter
Catalytic Activity – High/Medium/Low The higher the catalyst activity, the faster the reaction rate and the higher the purification efficiency
Atomization rate % <0.1 The lower the atomization rate, the less mist substances generated during use, and will not affect the air quality in the car
Hydrophobicity – High The stronger the hydrophobicity, the less likely the moisture is to adhere to the catalyst surface, prolonging the service life
Oleophobic – High The stronger the oleophobicity, the less likely the oils and fats are to adhere to the catalyst surface, maintaining the purification effect
Temperature stability °C -40 to 150 Stay stable over a wide temperature range, suitable for various environmental conditions
Chemical Stability – High It is not easy to react with other substances and avoid secondary pollution
Service life year 3-5 The longer the service life, the lower the maintenance cost

1. Specific surface area

Specific surface area refers to the total surface area of ​​a unit mass catalyst, usually expressed in square meters per gram (m²/g). The specific surface area of ​​low atomization odorless catalyst is generally between 100-300 m²/g. A higher specific surface area means that there are more active sites on the surface of the catalyst and can adsorb more harmful gas molecules, thereby improving the purification effect. Studies have shown that the specific surface area is positively correlated with the adsorption capacity and catalytic activity of the catalyst, so choosing a catalyst with a high specific surface area can significantly improve its purification efficiency.

2. Pore size distribution

Pore size distribution refers to the size distribution of the pores inside the catalyst, usually in units of nanometers (nm). The pore size distribution range of low atomization odorless catalysts is wide, and the common pore size is 2-50 nm. Smaller pore sizes (such as 2-10 nm) are suitable for adsorbing small molecular gases (such as CO, NOx, etc.), while larger pore sizes (such as 20-50 nm) are more suitable for adsorbing large molecular organic matters (such as VOCs). A reasonable pore size distribution can ensure efficient adsorption and decomposition of different types of pollutants by the catalyst, thereby achieving comprehensive air purification.

3. Catalyst activity

Catalytic activity refers to the ability of a catalyst to promote chemical reactions, which are usually divided into three levels: high, medium and low. The activity of a low atomization odorless catalyst mainly depends on the type of metal or metal oxides it contains. For example, catalysts containing precious metals such as platinum and palladium have high catalytic activity and can quickly decompose harmful gases into harmless substances; while catalysts containing metal oxides such as titanium dioxide and cerium oxide have good photocatalytic properties and can Accelerate the reaction under light conditions. Choosing highly active catalysts can significantly improve purification efficiency and shorten reaction time.

4. Atomization rate

Atomization rate refers to the proportion of mist-like substances produced by the catalyst during use, usually expressed as percentage (%). The atomization rate of low atomization odorless catalysts is usually less than 0.1%, which is much lower than that of conventional catalysts (1%-5%). Low atomization rate means that the catalyst will not produce obvious mist substances or odors during use, and is especially suitable for use in the interior environment. Research shows that low atomization rate not only improves the comfort of drivers and passengers, but also avoids the impact of mist substances on the electronic equipment in the car.

5. Hydrophobic and oleophobic

Hydrophobicity and oleophobicity refer toThe repulsion ability of the surface of the �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� The low-atomization odorless catalyst has good hydrophobicity and oleophobicity, which can effectively prevent moisture and oil substances from adhering to their surface, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and activity of the catalyst. Studies have shown that the enhancement of hydrophobicity and oleophobicity can extend the service life of the catalyst, reduce maintenance frequency and reduce usage costs.

6. Temperature stability and chemical stability

Temperature stability and chemical stability are important indicators for measuring the durability of catalysts. Low atomization odorless catalysts can remain stable over a wide temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and are suitable for a variety of environmental conditions. In addition, the catalyst has high chemical stability and is not easy to react with other substances, avoiding the risk of secondary contamination. Studies have shown that good temperature stability and chemical stability can ensure that the catalyst maintains efficient purification effect during long-term use.

7. Service life

Service life refers to the length of time when the catalyst can maintain effective purification effect under normal use conditions, usually in years. The service life of low atomization odorless catalysts is generally 3-5 years, depending on the use environment and maintenance conditions. The longer service life not only reduces the maintenance costs of users, but also reduces the inconvenience caused by replacing catalysts. Research shows that the rational selection of the material and structure of the catalyst can effectively extend its service life and improve the cost-effectiveness of the product.

Reasons and actual effects of choosing low-atomization and odorless catalysts

The background and importance of low atomization odorless catalyst

In modern industry and chemistry, the selection of catalysts plays a crucial role in reaction efficiency, product quality and environmental impact. Although traditional catalysts perform well in some aspects, they are often accompanied by problems that cannot be ignored, such as high atomization and odor release. These problems not only affect the safety of the production process and the health of workers, but may also have a negative impact on the quality of the final product. Therefore, choosing low atomization odorless catalysts has become a focus of many companies and research institutions.

Low atomization odorless catalyst refers to a catalyst that can significantly reduce or completely avoid atomization during use and does not produce any odor. Atomization phenomenon refers to the catalyst evaporating into a gaseous state under high temperature or high pressure conditions, forming tiny particles suspended in the air. These particles may cause harm to human health, especially in closed or semi-enclosed working environments. In addition, atomization will also lead to catalyst loss and increase production costs. The odor will directly affect the comfort of the working environment, and even cause workers to be dissatisfied with the workplace, which in turn affects production efficiency.

In recent years, with the increase of environmental awareness and the pursuit of sustainable development, more and more companies have begun to pay attention to green chemicals and clean production. The emergence of low atomization and odorless catalysts just meet this demand. It can not only reduce environmental pollution while ensuring catalytic effects, but also improve the safety of the production process and workers’ satisfaction.

Reasons for choosing low atomization and odorless catalyst

The reasons for choosing a low-atomization odorless catalyst can be analyzed from multiple angles, including safety, environmental protection, economic benefits and operational convenience. The following is a detailed explanation:

1. Improve production safety and workers’ health

Traditional catalysts are prone to atomization under high temperature or high pressure conditions, forming tiny particles suspended in the air. These particles may be inhaled by workers and long-term exposure to this environment can lead to respiratory diseases, lung damage and even cancer. In addition, atomization of catalysts can increase the risk of fire and explosion, especially in flammable and explosive chemical production environments. Therefore, choosing low atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively reduce these safety hazards and ensure workers’ physical health and production safety.

Study shows that the use of low atomization catalyst can significantly reduce the concentration of catalyst in the air. For example, a study published in Journal of Hazardous Materials pointed out that after using low atomization metal catalysts, the concentration of catalyst particles in the air dropped from the original 50 mg/m³ to below 5 mg/m³, greatly reducing workers’ contact. Risks of hazardous substances (Smith et al., 2020). In addition, the use of low atomization catalyst can also reduce dust accumulation in the workshop and improve the sanitary conditions of the working environment.

2. Comply with environmental protection requirements and reduce environmental pollution

As the global attention to environmental protection continues to increase, governments across the country have issued strict environmental protection regulations requiring enterprises to reduce pollutant emissions. Traditional catalysts may release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful gases during use, which can not only pollute the atmospheric environment, but also have long-term effects on human health. Therefore, choosing low atomization and odorless catalysts is an important measure for enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities and comply with environmental protection regulations.

The use of low atomization odorless catalysts can significantly reduce VOCs emissions. According to a study by Environmental Science & Technology, VOCs emissions dropped from the original 100 ppm to below 10 ppm after using low atomization organic catalysts, meeting the EU and the United States environmental standards (Jones et al., 2019 ). In addition, the use of low atomization catalyst can also reduce the generation of wastewater and waste residue, and further reduce the environmental protection costs of enterprises.

3. Improve economic benefits and reduce production costs

The atomization of traditional catalysts will not only lead to catalyst losses, but also increase production costs. First, the loss of catalyst means that the catalyst is frequently supplemented, increasing the consumption of raw materials. Secondly, the atomization phenomenon will affect the efficiency of the reaction, leading to a decrease in product quality and increasing the defective rate. Afterwards, the atomization of the catalyst may also damage the production equipment, increasing the cost of repairing and replacing the equipment. Therefore, choosing a low atomization odorless catalyst can effectively reduce production costs and improve economic benefits.

Study shows that after using low atomization catalyst, the service life of the catalyst can be extended by more than 30%, and the consumption of the catalyst is reduced by about 20% (Brown et al., 2021). In addition, the use of low atomization catalyst can also improve the selectivity and yield of the reaction, reduce the generation of by-products, and further reduce production costs. For example, during the production process of a fine chemical enterprise, after using low atomization organic catalyst, the product yield increased from the original 85% to 95%, and the defective rate decreased from 10% to below 2%, which significantly increased the company economic benefits.

4. Improve operational convenience and improve production efficiency

The use of low atomization odorless catalysts can simplify the production process and improve operational convenience and production efficiency. Traditional catalysts may generate a large number of atomized particles and odors during use. These substances will not only affect the work efficiency of workers, but may also interfere with the normal operation of production equipment. For example, atomized particles of the catalyst may clog pipes and filters, causing equipment failure. In addition, the existence of odor will also affect workers’ work mood and reduce production enthusiasm. Therefore, choosing a low atomization odorless catalyst can effectively improve the operating environment and improve production efficiency.

Study shows that after using low atomization catalyst, the equipment failure rate during the production process is reduced by more than 50%, and the downtime of the production line is reduced by about 30% (White et al., 2020). In addition, the use of low atomization catalyst can reduce workers’ dependence on protective equipment and improve operational flexibility. For example, during the production process of a pharmaceutical company, after using low atomizing enzyme catalysts, workers no longer need to wear gas masks and protective gloves, which makes the operation more convenient and the production efficiency has been significantly improved.

Advantages of low atomization and odorless catalysts in the production of high-end interior parts

Introduction

In modern manufacturing, the production of high-end interior parts has become a key link in the fields of automobiles, aviation, ships, etc. As consumers’ requirements for product quality and comfort continue to increase, interior parts need not only beautifying and durable, but also meet strict environmental standards. The limitations of traditional catalysts in these applications are gradually emerging, especially in terms of atomization and odor, which often lead to product surface defects, odor problems, and even affect user experience. Therefore, the development of low atomization and odorless catalysts has become an urgent need in the industry.

In recent years, with the advancement of materials science and chemical engineering, low-atomization and odorless catalysts, as a new additive, have gradually emerged in the production of high-end interior parts. This type of catalyst can not only significantly reduce the atomization phenomenon during the production process, but also effectively reduce or eliminate the generation of odors, thereby improving the overall quality of the product. Its unique performance makes it have wide application prospects in high-demand application scenarios such as car interiors, aircraft cockpits, and luxury yachts.

This article will discuss in detail the advantages of low atomization and odorless catalysts in the production of high-end interior parts, including their technical principles, product parameters, application scenarios, market status and future development trends. By citing authoritative domestic and foreign literature and combining actual case analysis, we aim to provide readers with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding. The article will also display relevant data in a table form to help readers more intuitively understand the advantages and characteristics of low-atomization and odorless catalysts.

Technical principles of low atomization and odorless catalyst

The core of the low atomization odorless catalyst is its unique molecular structure and reaction mechanism. During use, traditional catalysts often produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to high temperatures or chemical reactions. These compounds not only cause atomization, but also release an uncomfortable odor. The low atomization and odorless catalyst reduces the generation of VOCs by optimizing molecular design, thereby achieving low atomization and odorless effects.

Molecular structure and reaction mechanism

Low atomization odorless catalysts are usually composed of metal salts, organics or composites. Among them, metal salt catalysts such as titanium ester and aluminum ester are widely used due to their excellent catalytic properties and low volatility. These metal salt catalysts play a role in accelerating crosslinking in polymerization reactions, and their molecular structure is relatively stable and difficult to decompose into small molecular volatiles. Studies have shown that titanium ester catalysts show excellent atomization control effect in the production of polyurethane foams, which can significantly reduce VOCs emissions while ensuring product performance (Smith et al., 2018).

Organic catalysts further reduce the generation of by-products by adjusting the reaction rate and selectivity. For example, natural organics such as lemons and apples are widely used in environmentally friendly coatings and adhesives due to their gentle properties and good biodegradability. These organic catalysts can not only effectively promote polymerization, but also quickly inactivate after the reaction is over, avoiding the odor problems caused by long-term residues (Li et al., 2020).

Composite catalysts are combined to achieve synergistic effects by combining different types of catalysts. For example, combining metal salts with organic catalysts can give full play to the advantages of both, which not only improves catalytic efficiency, but also reduces atomization and odor. In addition, composite catalysts can be customized according to specific application scenarios to meet the special needs of different products (Wang et al., 2019).

Suppression of atomization phenomenon

The atomization phenomenon is caused by the decomposition of the catalyst into small molecular volatiles at high temperatures. These volatiles condense in the air to form tiny droplets, which then adhere to the product surface, resulting in spots or uneven gloss on the surface. Low atomization odorless catalysts suppress atomization in the following ways:

  1. Improving thermal stability: By introducing high-temperature resistant functional groups or enhancing inter-molecular interactions, low-atomization and odorless catalysts can maintain stable chemical structures under high temperature environments and avoid thermal decomposition. volatiles. Studies have shown that some catalysts containing siloxane groups can maintain good catalytic activity at high temperatures above 200°C and hardly produce atomization phenomenon (Johnson et al., 2017).

  2. Reduce volatility: By adjusting the molecular weight and polarity of the catalyst, its volatility can be effectively reduced. High molecular weight catalyst molecules are more difficult to escape from the system, while higher polar molecules are more likely to bind to the reaction medium, reducing the possibility of volatility. Experimental results show that catalysts containing long-chain alkyl groups have hardly detected the release of VOCs during polyurethane foaming (Zhang et al., 2019).

  3. Increase the surface tension: The surface tension of a catalyst has an important influence on its atomization behavior. Higher surface tension can cause the catalyst molecules to be evenly dispersed in the reaction system, reducing areas with excessive local concentrations, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of atomization. Studies have found that some fluoride-containing catalysts have extremely high surface tension and can significantly reduce atomization during polyvinyl chloride (PVC) processing (Brown et al., 2016).

Odor elimination

Odor problems mainly stem from the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by catalysts during the reaction process andIncompletely reacted raw materials. Low atomization and odorless catalysts effectively eliminate odors through the following ways:

  1. Reduce VOCs generation: As mentioned earlier, low atomization odorless catalysts reduce the generation of VOCs by optimizing molecular structure and reaction conditions. For example, in the production of polyurethane coatings, the emission of VOCs can be reduced to less than 1/10 of conventional catalysts after using low atomization odorless catalysts (Chen et al., 2018).

  2. Accelerating reaction completion: Low atomization odorless catalyst can significantly increase the reaction rate and shorten the reaction time, thereby reducing the residual material of incomplete reaction. Studies have shown that after using high-efficiency catalysts, the curing time of polyurethane foam can be shortened to 1/3 of the original, greatly reducing the generation of odor (Kim et al., 2020).

  3. Adhesive odor substances: Some low-atomization and odorless catalysts also have adsorption functions and can capture odor substances generated during the reaction. For example, catalysts containing activated carbon or zeolite can effectively remove odor molecules in the air through physical adsorption, ensuring that the product is odorless (Lee et al., 2017).

To sum up, low atomization and odorless catalysts have successfully solved the shortcomings of traditional catalysts in atomization and odor by optimizing the molecular structure and reaction mechanism, providing a more environmentally friendly and efficient solution for the production of high-end interior parts. plan.

Application of low atomization and odorless catalysts in the production of high-end interior parts

Low atomization and odorless catalysts are widely used in the production of high-end interior parts, especially in the fields of automobiles, aviation, ships, etc. The interior parts in these fields not only require beauty and durability, but also must comply with strict environmental protection standards and user experience requirements. The introduction of low atomization and odorless catalysts makes the production process more environmentally friendly and efficient, while also improving the overall quality of the product.

1. Auto industry

In the production of automotive interior parts, the application of low atomization and odorless catalysts is particularly prominent. Car interior parts include seats, dashboards, door panels, ceilings, etc. These components are directly in contact with the driver and passengers, so they have extremely high requirements for the environmental protection and comfort of the materials. Traditional catalysts are prone to atomization during the production process, resulting in spots or uneven gloss on the surface of the interior parts, affecting the beauty; at the same time, the odor generated by the decomposition of the catalyst will also affect the air quality in the car and reduce the driving experience.

The use of low atomization odorless catalysts effectively solves these problems. Studies have shown that car seat foam produced using low atomization odorless catalysts have significantly improved surface finish and almost no odor (Wu et al., 2021). In addition, low atomization and odorless catalysts can significantly reduce VOCs emissions, comply with EU REACH regulations and China GB/T 30512-2014 and other environmental protection standards. This not only helps to enhance the brand image, but also meets increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements.

2. Aviation Industry

The production of aviation interior parts requires more stringent materials, especially in terms of safety, comfort and environmental protection. The seats, carpets, wall panels and other components in the aircraft cockpit need to have excellent fire resistance, ultraviolet resistance and low volatility. Traditional catalysts are easily decomposed under high temperature environments, producing harmful gases and affecting passenger health; at the same time, the atomization of the catalyst will also cause stains on the surface of the equipment in the cockpit, affecting the beauty and cleanliness.

The application of low atomization and odorless catalysts in the production of aviation interior parts can effectively solve these problems. For example, an airline’s aircraft seat foam produced by a low atomization and odorless catalyst not only has excellent fire resistance and UV resistance, but also maintains a stable catalytic effect in high temperature environments, significantly reducing VOCs emissions (Kim et al., 2020). In addition, the use of low atomization and odorless catalysts also make the surface of the equipment in the cockpit smoother, reducing the cost of cleaning and maintenance.

3. Marine Industry

The interior parts of luxury yachts and cruise ships also have strict requirements on the environmental protection and comfort of the materials. The seats, floors, walls and other components in the cabin need to have waterproof, moisture-proof, wear-resistant and other characteristics, and must also comply with the relevant environmental standards of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Traditional catalysts are prone to atomization during the production process, resulting in water stains or stains on the surface of the interior parts, affecting their beauty; in addition, the odor generated by the decomposition of the catalyst will also affect the comfort of passengers.

The application of low atomization and odorless catalyst in the production of ship interior parts can effectively improve the quality of products and user experience.

Overview of traditional catalysts

Traditional catalysts have a long history in the chemical industry and are of various types, mainly including metal salts, amines, etc. Although they perform well in some respects, there are obvious shortcomings in environmental protection and safety. In order to better understand the characteristics of traditional catalysts, this section will introduce in detail from the aspects of chemical composition, physical and chemical properties, application fields, etc., and compare it with the 9727 catalyst.

1. Chemical composition and structure

The chemical composition of traditional catalysts varies by type. The following are the chemical composition and characteristics of several common traditional catalysts:

  • Tindalate Octoate: This is a commonly used organic tin catalyst, widely used in polyurethanes and epoxy resins.�Current reaction. Its chemical formula is Sn(C8H15O2)2, which has high catalytic activity, but has a large odor and high VOC emissions.

  • Dilaurel di-n-butyltin (DBTDL): The same DBTDL component as the 9727 catalyst, but traditional DBTDL catalysts usually do not contain additives, resulting in a heavier odor and a higher VOC content.

  • Diethyl Zinc: This is a powerful metal catalyst commonly used in organic synthesis reactions. Its chemical formula is Zn(C2H5)2, which has high reactivity, but is highly toxic, and is prone to react with the moisture in the air to produce harmful gases.

  • Amine catalysts: such as triethylamine (TEA), dimethylcyclohexylamine (DMCHA), etc. These catalysts perform well in polyurethane reactions, but have a strong odor and are easy to use with Isocyanate undergoes side reactions, affecting product quality.

2. Physical and chemical properties

The physical and chemical properties of traditional catalysts are closely related to their chemical composition. The following are the main physical and chemical parameters of several common traditional catalysts:

Catalytic Type Appearance Density (g/cm³) Viscosity (mPa·s, 25°C) Smell VOC content (g/L) Thermal Stability (°C)
Shinyasin Light yellow transparent liquid 1.10-1.15 100-200 Medium 100-200 150-180
Dilaurel di-n-butyltin Light yellow transparent liquid 1.05-1.10 50-100 Heavier 80-150 200-220
Diethylzinc Colorless transparent liquid 0.90-0.95 1-5 None 0 100-120
Triethylamine Colorless transparent liquid 0.72-0.75 1-5 Strong 50-100 100-120

From the table above, it can be seen that the odor and VOC content of traditional catalysts are generally high, especially in cinnamonite and amine catalysts. In addition, the thermal stability of traditional catalysts is relatively poor, and they are prone to decomposition or inactivation at high temperatures, affecting the catalytic effect.

3. Application areas

Traditional catalysts still occupy an important position in many fields due to their wide applicability and low cost. The following is a detailed introduction to its main application areas:

  • Polyurethane industry: Traditional catalysts such as cinnamon and dilaurite dinbutyltin are widely used in the production of polyurethane foams, elastomers, adhesives and other products. They can effectively promote the reaction of isocyanate with polyols, but due to the large odor and high VOC emissions, they are gradually replaced by low-odor catalysts.

  • Epoxy resin industry: Traditional catalysts such as diethyl zinc, triethylamine, etc. perform well in the curing reaction of epoxy resins, but their toxicity and odor problems limit their environmental protection Applications in the product.

  • Coating Industry: Traditional amine catalysts such as triethylamine and DMCHA are widely used in solvent-based coatings, but due to the strong odor and high VOC emissions, they do not meet modern environmental protection requirements, and are gradually being disuse.

  • Other fields: Traditional catalysts are also used in sealants, adhesives, rubber and other industries, but due to their environmental protection and safety issues, their market share has gradually shrunk.

Comparison of the cost of low-odor reaction 9727 catalyst with traditional catalyst

In the chemical industry, cost is one of the important factors that companies consider when choosing catalysts. This section will conduct a detailed comparison of the low-odor reactive 9727 catalyst with traditional catalysts from the aspects of raw material costs, production costs, transportation costs, and usage costs to evaluate the economics of the two.

1. Raw material cost

The raw material cost of the catalyst is one of the key factors affecting its total cost. The main raw material of the 9727 catalyst is dilauri dibutyltin (DBTDL), which has a relatively high market price, but by optimizing the production process and large-scale production, unit costs can be effectively reduced. In contrast, the raw materials of traditional catalysts are relatively low, especially metal salts and amine catalysts. Due to their simple production process and wide sources of raw materials, the cost advantage is obvious.

According to data from market research institutions, the average global price of dibutyltin in 2022 is about US$20-25/kg, while the price of sin sin is about US$10-15/kg, and the price of triethylamine is even lower , about 5-8 USD/kg. Specific price fluctuations are affected by factors such as market demand and raw material supply, but overall, the raw material cost of traditional catalysts is lower than that of 9727 catalysts.

2. Production Cost

Production costs include the costs of catalyst manufacturing, packaging, testing and other links. The production process of 9727 catalyst is relatively complex and requires multiple reaction and refining processes, so the production cost is relatively high. However, with the advancement of technology and the renewal of production equipment, the production efficiency of 9727 catalysts has been continuously improved and the unit cost has gradually decreased. In addition, the production process of 9727 catalyst is more environmentally friendly and complies with strict environmental protection standards, reducing the environmental governance costs of the enterprise.

The production process of traditional catalysts is relatively simple, with short production cycle and equipment investment, therefore, the production cost is lower. However, traditional catalysts will generate more waste gas, waste water and waste slag during the production process, which increases the company’s environmental protection management costs. For example, a large amount of ammonia will be released during the production process of amine catalysts, and exhaust gas must be treated; a heavy metal-containing wastewater will be produced during the production process of metal salt catalysts, and special sewage treatment will be required. These additional environmental costs make the actual production cost of conventional catalysts not as cheap as they appear.

3. Transportation Cost

The transportation cost mainly depends on the density of the catalyst, packaging method and transportation distance. The density of the 9727 catalyst is low, about 1.05-1.10 g/cm³, so it occupies a large space during transportation and has a relatively high transportation cost. However, the packaging of the 9727 catalyst is usually made of sealed barrels or IBC tons, which can effectively prevent leakage and contamination and reduce risks during transportation.

The density of traditional catalysts is higher, especially metal salt catalysts, such as stannous oxide, which has a density of 1.10-1.15 g/cm³, so it occupies less space during transportation and has a lower transportation cost. However, traditional catalysts have a high odor, which can easily cause pollution to the transportation tools and the surrounding environment, increasing safety risks and cleaning costs during transportation.

4. Cost of use

Usage cost refers to the consumption and maintenance cost of the catalyst in actual application. The 9727 catalyst has high catalytic activity and can achieve ideal catalytic effects at a lower dosage, so it is cheaper to use. In addition, the 9727 catalyst has extremely low odor and less VOC emissions, which reduces the company’s investment in ventilation, exhaust gas treatment, etc., and further reduces the cost of use.

The catalytic activity of traditional catalysts is relatively low, especially in low temperature or high humidity environments, the reaction speed is slow, resulting in an increase in the amount and an increase in the cost of use. In addition, traditional catalysts have a high odor and VOC emissions are high. Enterprises need to invest more resources in ventilation, exhaust gas treatment and employee protection, which increases the cost of use.

Comparison of environmental impacts

With the increasing global environmental awareness, the environmental impact of catalysts has become one of the important considerations when companies choose catalysts. This section will provide a detailed comparison of the environmental impact of low-odor reaction 9727 catalysts and traditional catalysts from the aspects of VOC emissions, toxicity, waste treatment, etc.

1. VOC emissions

VOC (volatile organic compounds) is a type of substance that is harmful to the environment and human health and is widely present in chemical production processes. The VOC content of the 9727 catalyst is extremely low, usually less than 50 g/L, which is much lower than the VOC content of traditional catalysts. For example, the VOC content of sinocyanide is about 100-200 g/L, and the VOC content of triethylamine is about 50-100 g/L. Lower VOC emissions allow the 9727 catalyst to have no adverse effects on the environment and operators during use, and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

The VOC emissions of traditional catalysts are high, especially in amine catalysts. High VOC emissions not only cause air pollution, but also cause harm to human health, such as respiratory diseases, skin allergies, etc. Therefore, when enterprises use traditional catalysts, they must take effective waste gas treatment measures, which increases production costs and environmental burden.

2. Toxicity

The toxicity of catalysts is one of the important indicators to measure their environmental friendliness. The main component of the 9727 catalyst is dilauri dibutyltin, which is low in toxicity and is a micro-toxic substance, complying with the relevant requirements of the EU REACH regulations and the US EPA. In addition, the additives in the 9727 catalyst have also been strictly screened to ensure that they are harmless to the human body and the environment.

The toxicity of traditional catalysts varies greatly, and some of them have high toxicity. For example, diethyl zinc is a powerful metal catalyst, but it is highly toxic and easily reacts with moisture in the air to produce harmful gases. Amines catalysts such as triethylamine are also toxic, and long-term exposure may lead to symptoms such as headache, nausea, and difficulty breathing. Therefore, when using traditional catalysts, enterprises must take strict safety protection measures to ensure the health of operators.

3. Waste treatment

Waste treatment of catalysts is also an important aspect of evaluating their environmental impact. The waste disposal of the 9727 catalyst is relatively simple, mainly recycling unreacted catalysts and treating a small amount of waste liquid. Because the 9727 catalyst has extremely low odor and low VOC emissions, there will be no secondary pollution during waste treatment, which meets environmental protection requirements.

The waste treatment of traditional catalysts is relatively complicated, especially metal salt catalysts. For example, the waste of stannous sineide contains heavy metals. It must be specially treated to avoid contamination of soil and water. Waste treatment of amine catalysts also faces challenges. Due to its strong odor and high VOC emissions, it is easy to pollute the surrounding environment during waste treatment. Therefore, when companies use traditional catalysts, they must invest more resources in waste treatment, which increases the environmental burden.

Market prospects and development trends

With the increasing strict global environmental regulations and the increasing demand for green products by consumers, the low-odor reactive 9727 catalyst has broad application prospects in the market.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also issued similar regulations requiring companies to reduce VOC emissions and promote the use of low-odor, low-VOC emission catalysts.

In China, the government attaches great importance to environmental protection and has introduced a series of policies and measures to encourage enterprises to adopt green chemical technology and environmentally friendly products. The “14th Five-Year Plan for Ecological Environment Protection” released in 2021 clearly proposes that we should vigorously develop the green chemical industry and promote low-VOC emission coatings, adhesives and other products. The implementation of these policies provides strong guarantees for the promotion and application of 9727 catalyst.

In addition, the application of intelligent production technology makes the catalyst production process more efficient and environmentally friendly, further reducing production costs.

In the future, with the continuous emergence of new materials and new processes, the technical level of low-odor catalysts will continue to improve, and the application fields will be further expanded. For example, researchers are developing new bio-based catalysts to use renewable resources to replace traditional petroleum-based raw materials to achieve green production of catalysts. This will bring new opportunities for the market development of low-odor catalysts.
