What Does PROX Stand For?
PROX stands for Preferential CO Oxidn
PROX, or Preferential CO Oxidation, refers to a catalytic process designed to selectively oxidize carbon monoxide (CO) in the presence of more abundant gases, such as hydrogen (H2) or methane (CH4). This process is crucial in applications like hydrogen fuel cells and gas purification, where the removal of CO is essential to enhance efficiency and performance. By maximizing the oxidation of CO while minimizing interference from other gases, PROX plays a vital role in improving the overall effectiveness of catalytic converters and fuel reformers.
