FORMALDEHYDE (HCHO) PHOTOCATALYSIS RESEARCH WITH GASERA ONE

Formaldehyde (HCHO or CH2O), as one type of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and its derivatives have long-term effects on human body and even causes cancer.

Formaldehyde is a widely contained in furniture materials, paint, and adhesives that has become one of the most concerned indoor pollutants due to sustaining release.

In a recent study, Wenjun Wang et al. proposed a sustainable and green approach to synthesize an efficient N, Ca co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst (TIMP) by using the insoluble matrix proteins (IMPs) extracted from abalone shell. Link to original paper in comments.

In this study, the concentration of HCHO, CO, and CO2 were monitored online by GASERA ONE photoacoustic infrared multigas monitor. This is further evidence of the applicability of the GASERA ONE platform products in demanding formaldehyde (HCHO) gas analysis, monitoring and scientific research.

GASERA ONE is a photoacoustic multi-gas analyzer platform that serves a wide variety of research and industrial applications. GASERA ONE platform can be tailored to suit multiple applications by selecting optimal lasers and/or light sources.
