SO3AS: Smart catalytic-based system for abatement of polluting ozone at room temperature

13th Cycle, 2017, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Ozone is the main component of photochemical smog. Not only it is extremely harmful, possibly causing chronic lung diseases, but also very difficult to abate, as it is formed in air by precursor pollutants (NOx, VOCs). In this context, the project SO3AS aims at designing a catalytic device for ozone abatement for indoor air purification. […]
