National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Develops Functional Agents for Purifying Exhaust Emissions.Tokyo, Japan, July 21, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - A group of scientists at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (産業技術総合研究所 (AIST AIST Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Japan) AIST National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Japan) AIST Association for Iron & Steel Technology ) together with NGK Insulators has developed a platino-alumina agent that can oxygenate oxygenate /ox·y·gen·ate/ (-je-nat) to saturate with oxygen. ox·y·gen·ate or ox·y·gen·ize v. To treat, combine, or infuse with oxygen. and purify harmful and volatile organic compounds contained in exhaust emissions. The new agent can reduce the reaction temperature by about 100 deg C compared to conventional ones, while it increases heat resistance by 200 deg C. The group is hopeful of the commercialization of the platino-alumina agent as it uses inexpensive aluminum hydroxide as a raw material and is produced in a cost-efficient and simple freeze-dry process.
