The adsorption mechanism of G-MAQ
VariousHarmful chemical substancesWe chemically neutralise and deodorise malodorous substances, demonstrating a powerful effect.
Main substances for adsorption and deodorisation
Aldehydes
- Formaldehyde: The most representative cause of Sick Building Syndrome, and a carcinogen.
- Acetaldehyde: A representative cause of tobacco smell and a cause of hangovers.
- Nonenal: The primary cause of aging odour.
Short-chain fatty acids
- Acetic acid: a substance that causes the smell of sweat and tobacco
- Isovaleric acid: the main cause of armpit and foot odour
Alkaline odourous substances
- Ammonia: The most representative cause of unpleasant odours, found in various foul smells such as body odour and urine odour.
- Amines: The primary substances causing pet odours and the smell of decaying meat or fish.
Adsorption and deodorisation mechanisms
Examples of aldehyde adsorption and deodorisation
- Formaldehyde (HCHO): R-NH2 + HCHO → R-NCH2 + H2O
- Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO): R-NH2 + CH3CHO → R-NCHCH3 + H2O
Examples of adsorption and deodorisation of short-chain fatty acids
- Acetic acid (CH3COOH): R-NH2 + CH3COOH → R-NHCOCH3 + H2O
Examples of adsorption and deodorisation of alkaline odour substances
- Ammonia (NH3): R-SO3H + NH3 → R-SO3NH4
