Hopcalite, the Glossary
Hopcalite is the trade name for a number of mixtures that mainly consist of oxides of copper and manganese, which are used as catalysts for the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide when exposed to the oxygen in the air at room temperature.[1]

Activated carbon
Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon commonly used to filter contaminants from water and air, among many other uses.
See Hopcalite and Activated carbon
Calcination
Calcination is thermal treatment of a solid chemical compound (e.g. mixed carbonate ores) whereby the compound is raised to high temperature without melting under restricted supply of ambient oxygen (i.e. gaseous O2 fraction of air), generally for the purpose of removing impurities or volatile substances and/or to incur thermal decomposition.
Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula.
See Hopcalite and Carbon dioxide
Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air.
See Hopcalite and Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide detector
A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
See Hopcalite and Carbon monoxide detector
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning typically occurs from breathing in carbon monoxide (CO) at excessive levels.
See Hopcalite and Carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbonate
A carbonate is a salt of carbonic acid,, characterized by the presence of the carbonate ion, a polyatomic ion with the formula.
Catalysis
Catalysis is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst.
Cobalt(III) oxide
Cobalt(III) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula of Co2O3.
See Hopcalite and Cobalt(III) oxide
Copper
Copper is a chemical element; it has symbol Cu and atomic number 29.
Copper(II) oxide
Copper(II) oxide or cupric oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula CuO.
See Hopcalite and Copper(II) oxide
Ethylene oxide
Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the formula. It is a cyclic ether and the simplest epoxide: a three-membered ring consisting of one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms. Ethylene oxide is a colorless and flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor. Because it is a strained ring, ethylene oxide easily participates in a number of addition reactions that result in ring-opening.
See Hopcalite and Ethylene oxide
Gas mask
A gas mask is an item of personal protective equipment used to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne pollutants and toxic gases.
Heterogeneous catalysis
Heterogeneous catalysis is catalysis where the phase of catalysts differs from that of the reagents or products.
See Hopcalite and Heterogeneous catalysis
Johns Hopkins University
Johns Hopkins University (often abbreviated as Johns Hopkins, Hopkins, Johns, or JHU) is a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland.
See Hopcalite and Johns Hopkins University
Manganese
Manganese is a chemical element; it has symbol Mn and atomic number 25.
Manganese dioxide
Manganese dioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula.
See Hopcalite and Manganese dioxide
Manganese(II) oxide
Manganese(II) oxide is an inorganic compound with chemical formula MnO.
See Hopcalite and Manganese(II) oxide
Nitrate
Nitrate is a polyatomic ion with the chemical formula.
Ozone
Ozone (or trioxygen) is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula.
Rebreather
A rebreather is a breathing apparatus that absorbs the carbon dioxide of a user's exhaled breath to permit the rebreathing (recycling) of the substantially unused oxygen content, and unused inert content when present, of each breath.
Respiratory protective equipment
Respiratory protective equipment (RPE), also called protective breathing equipment (PBE) in the US, is a form of personal protective equipment designed to protect the wearer from a variety of airborne hazards in the form of a gas, fume, mist, dust or vapour.
See Hopcalite and Respiratory protective equipment
Salt (chemistry)
In chemistry, a salt or ionic compound is a chemical compound consisting of an assembly of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions), which results in a compound with no net electric charge (electrically neutral).
See Hopcalite and Salt (chemistry)
Self-contained self-rescue device
A self-contained self-rescue device, SCSR, self-contained self-rescuer, or air pack is a type of closed-circuit SCBA with a portable oxygen source for providing breathable air when the surrounding atmosphere lacks oxygen or is contaminated with toxic gases, e.g. carbon monoxide.
See Hopcalite and Self-contained self-rescue device
Silica gel
Silica gel is an amorphous and porous form of silicon dioxide (silica), consisting of an irregular tridimensional framework of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms with nanometer-scale voids and pores.
Silver oxide
Silver oxide is the chemical compound with the formula Ag2O.
See Hopcalite and Silver oxide
Sodium hydroxide
Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula.
See Hopcalite and Sodium hydroxide
University of California
The University of California (UC) is a public land-grant research university system in the U.S. state of California.
See Hopcalite and University of California
Volatile organic compound
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic compounds that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature.
