Global Gas-phase Air Filtration Materials Market: Introduction

• Gas-phase air filtration method is used to remove gaseous contaminants from the breathing air and offer indoor air of high quality. A wide range of chemical mediums and macroporous chemical filters are used for removal of all types of harmful contaminants. Most gas-phase air filtration systems use activated carbon to adsorb gaseous molecules.
• An effective gas-phase filtration system employs a combination of particulate and gas-phase filtration technologies. Filtration systems are primarily used for removal of contaminants such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxidants or ozone, and nitrogen dioxide.
• The commonly employed gas-phase air filtration materials are potassium-impregnated alumina, coal-based activated carbon, phosphate incorporated activated carbon and potassium hydroxide incorporated activated carbon. Elimination of contaminants is achieved by using various methods such as adsorption, absorption, chemisorption, and catalysis.
• End-user industries of gas-phase air filtration materials include paper & pulp, chemical & petrochemical, metals & mining, food & beverages, health care, electronics & semiconductor, and building & construction. Gas-phase air filters are of two types: packed bed filters and combination filters.

Rising Demand for Gas-phase Filtration in Pulp & Paper Industry

• Rising demand for gas-phase filtration in the pulp & paper industry is considered a major factor driving the global gas-phase air filtration materials market
• Manufacture of paper from wood or pulp involves several complex processes, wherein the raw materials are chemically treated. Chemical treatment of raw materials results in the formation of gases that can contaminate the surrounding air. In such an environment, electronic equipment and devices, control rooms, process control systems and compressors are particularly at risk. Use of gas-phase filtration systems prevents this type of air contamination generally occurring in the paper & pulp industry.
• Moreover, stringent regulations implemented by the Government of China on the emission of air pollutants by major paper manufacturers in the country is a key factor fuelling the demand for gas-phase filtration materials in Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific to Lead Global Gas-phase Air Filtration Materials Market

• In terms of region, the global gas-phase air filtration materials market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
• Asia Pacific accounts for a significant share of the global gas-phase air filtration materials market, with the growing consumption of activated carbon for air filtration applications in the region
• Increasing demand for gas-phase air filtration from various end-user industries in Asia Pacific including pulp & paper, chemical & petrochemical, metals & mining, food & beverages, and electronics & semiconductor is anticipated to fuel the gas-phase air filtration materials market in the region during the forecast period
• Regulations on the emission of industrial air contaminants in developing economies of Asia Pacific are anticipated to boost the demand for gas-phase air filtration materials in the next few years. Moreover, presence of a highly attractive building & construction industry and rising demand for safety of buildings are likely to drive the global gas-phase air filtration materials market during the forecast period.
