What is catalyst?

Answer:

Catalyst is a substance (usually a precious metal such as platinum or palladium in our industry) that provides a surface for a chemical reaction with HAPS or VOCs to take place.  This reaction will actually oxidize the VOCs in your airstream at a far lower temperature than can be accomplished thermally.  Catalyst can be used in the form of coated ceramic beads, metal rings, monolith blocks, or all metal-mat configurations.04/30/2010
