Understanding Litter Box Odor: The Two Culprits
That unmistakable litter box smell comes from two specific molecules. To eliminate them, you need to understand them.
💧
Ammonia (NH₃)
From Cat Urine
- •The Smell: Sharp, pungent, eye-watering—like cleaning chemicals
- •Molecule Size: Tiny at 0.26 nanometers
- •The Problem: Forms when bacteria break down urea in urine
- •Why It's Hard: Most carbon has pores too large to trap such small molecules
💩
Mercaptans
From Cat Feces
- •The Smell: Rotten eggs, sewage, sulfur—that gagging sensation
- •Molecule Size: Larger, more complex sulfur compounds
- •The Problem: Released when proteins in feces decompose
- •Why It's Hard: Sticky molecules that require specific pore sizes to capture
Here's the breakthrough: Most activated carbon is designed for water filtration or general air purification. We worked with research scientists to engineer carbon specifically for these two molecules—creating the perfect trap for cat litter odor.

Precision-Engineered Pore Structure
Not all activated carbon is created equal. We worked with scientists to optimize every detail for cat litter odor.
Engineered Pore Architecture
Working with research scientists, we optimized the exact ratio of micropores (< 2nm), mesopores (2-50nm), and macropores (> 50nm) to create the perfect trap for cat litter odor molecules.
Ammonia Capture Mastery
Ammonia molecules (NH₃) from cat urine are tiny—only 0.26 nanometers. Our micropore-rich structure creates millions of perfectly sized capture sites that lock away ammonia before you can smell it.
Mercaptan Elimination
Mercaptans (sulfur compounds) give feces that distinctive rotten-egg smell. Our mesopore channels are specifically sized to trap these larger, more complex molecules permanently.
Triple-Pore Synergy
Macropores act as highways delivering odor molecules deep into the carbon. Mesopores catch medium-sized sulfur compounds. Micropores trap the smallest ammonia molecules. Nothing escapes.

What You're Looking At
These images show the laboratory research behind our optimized pore structure. Each tiny channel and cavity is a trap waiting to capture odor molecules at the molecular level.
- →Millions of pores create massive surface area (1050 m²/g)
- →Different pore sizes = different odor molecules captured
- →Once trapped, molecules can't escape back into the air
"The key is not just having pores, but having the right sized poresin the right ratios for the specific molecules you want to capture."

8×30 Mesh Particle Distribution
Effective Size:1.0 mm
Mean Diameter:1.4 mm
Uniformity Coefficient:<1.6
Why this matters: Consistent particle sizing ensures uniform flow through litter and maximum contact with odor molecules. Our 8×30 mesh is specifically sized for optimal cat litter performance.
Rapid Dechlorination Performance
Half-Length Value:2.2 cm
Apparent Density:540 kg/m³
BET Surface Area:1050 m²/g
Why this matters: Rapid chlorine removal proves the carbon's micro porous structure is highly active. If it can capture chlorine molecules this quickly, ammonia doesn't stand a chance.
Engineered for Real-World Performance
Laboratory testing shows our 8×30 mesh activated carbon maintains optimal flow characteristics and minimal pressure loss across varying temperatures (5-25°C). This means consistent odor capture whether your litter box is in a cool basement or warm bathroom.

How the Three Pore Types Work Together
Our research-backed pore architecture creates a capture system specifically engineered for cat litter odors.
The Culprits: Ammonia & Mercaptans
Cat urine breaks down into ammonia (NH₃)—that sharp, eye-watering smell. Feces releases mercaptans—sulfur compounds that smell like rotten eggs or sewage. These are the molecules we engineered Purrify to capture.
1
Macropores: The Express Lanes
Large macropores (> 50nm) act as highways, rapidly transporting odor molecules deep into the carbon structure. Think of them as the entry points that prevent bottlenecks.
2
Mesopores: The Mercaptan Traps
Medium-sized mesopores (2-50nm) are perfectly sized to capture mercaptans and other sulfur compounds from feces. These pores create a tight grip that won't let go.
3
Micropores: The Ammonia Eliminators
Tiny micropores (< 2nm) are optimized for ammonia's 0.26nm size. With millions of these capture sites per gram, ammonia molecules get locked away permanently before you can smell them.
