Toxic gases coming from industry, combustion plants or
vehicle emissions that are responsible for increasing the greenhouse effect
that have been turned into harmless gases by technology.
Researchers at the University of Alicante have developed and
patented a novel catalyst capable of decomposing nitrous oxide, a gaseous
compound harmful to the environment associated with the destruction of the
ozone layer and global warming of the planet, and turn it into a harmless gas.
This new technology, developed by the Research Group in
Carbon Materials and Environmental allows, through a catalytic system active,
efficient and stable over time, to eliminate nitrous oxide decomposing it into
nontoxic products, purifying the gases emitted by industries related to the
production of fertilizers, plastics and coal burning plants to produce
electricity or vehicles.
