Nickel foam air filter

Applications for nickel foam air filters include a heterogeneous catalyst for catalytic converters and catalytic combustion in automobiles, as well as catalytic filters for diesel engine pollutants. due to the material's distinct open crystalline structure, minimal pressure drop, inherent strength, and ability to withstand thermal shock. Its great thermal conductivity might surpass ceramic monolith supported catalysts in the low light-off transformation of combustion products and hydrocarbons during cold engine start. Ni foam might perform as well as or better than high-temperature steels as a catalytic support. Foam-assisted Fischer-Tropsch catalysts, steam reforming, and fine chemical hydrogenation are a few further applications for nickel metal foam catalysts.
