Formaldehyde presents substantial threats to human health, capable of inflicting severe damage and even triggering carcinogenesis. The capture and isolation of formaldehyde are pivotal for environmental purification. In tackling formaldehyde emissions from artificial boards, several proven approaches have emerged, including: veneering and coating technologies, incorporation of slow-release capsules, adhesive modification, and formaldehyde-free adhesive formulations. Catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde remains a prominent strategy for its removal, renowned for being efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally benign. This research explores the decomposition mechanism of formaldehyde in artificial boards, highlighting the pivotal roles of reactive oxygen species (O•) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in the catalytic oxidation process, alongside an analysis of their modulating factors. So near zero formaldehyde release should be adopted for use.
