Abstract
- Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the most poisonous gases present in the atmosphere. It also called the silent killer of twenty-first century. CO is produced into the environment by incomplete combustion of carbon containing compounds. It causes lots of people die every year including the firefighters. The main aim of this work to find out the literature study of standard respiratory escape masks for ambient temperature CO oxidation purposes. The research under concern is applicable for developing respiratory protection systems for military, mining, and space devices. There are many catalysts which are active for this process under different conditions. Among these catalysts, the hopcalite (CuMnOx) is one of the best-known catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation. It is a low-cost, easily available, and highly stable catalyst. The hopcalite catalyst is active for a longer time and would be tolerant of moisture and impurities in reacting gases. The catalyst surface and reacting gases forever play a key role in catalytic reactions. Hopcalite is an ideal catalyst for use in next-generation respiratory protection devices. Although there are numerous research papers present on this topic until now no one review are present for demanding this issue. So there is a space in this area; it has been made an attempt to seal this hole by this review.
