A built-in apparatus and method for treating air including a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet. An air mover positioned near the air outlet is configured to draw the air through the air inlet. The housing encloses an air treatment zone, such as including an oxidizing zone, and an ozone removal zone positioned downstream of the air treatment zone and oxidizing zone. The air treatment zone includes UV light and/or ozone that partially oxidizes the chemical contaminants in the air treatment zone. A catalyst in the oxidizing zone oxidizes elements within the air treatment zone. The ozone removal zone includes a second, different catalyst material. A UV bulb that may or may not generate ozone is positioned within or downstream of the first and/or second catalyst materials to assist catalyst oxidation and/or self-clean the apparatus.

A process of producing a substrate having activated carbon includes solving an insoluble adhesive in water and mixing same to form an adhesive solution; adding activated carbon to the adhesive solution and mixing same until activated carbon is adhered to the adhesive solution to an activated carbon solution having activated carbon powder; adding the activated carbon solution to a substrate and flowing the activated carbon solution into the substrate; heating the substrate at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time until water in the activated carbon solution of the substrate evaporate wherein vapor forms air channels toward outer surfaces of the substrate and the air channels are served as air passable holes of the substrate; and suddenly cooling the substrate having the air channels which are formed as the air passable holes, thereby producing a substrate having activated carbon.

A method includes preparing a natural seashell, calcining the seashell at a high temperature to clear organic substances from the seashell, processing and reacting the seashell at a high temperature, grinding and screening the seashell, and mixing the ground seashell with microorganism strains to form a water deodorizer. The water deodorizer includes a powder having a porous structure, and multiple microorganism strains mixed with the powder. The powder has an interior provided with a plurality of pores. The powder is made of a natural seashell which is processed at a high temperature, and is ground and screened to form the porous structure. The microorganism strains are filled in the pores of the powder and cover outer surfaces of the pores of the powder. The powder has a diameter of 0.4-10 m.

Proposed is a method of monitoring odor-causing substances in flue gas, which comprises: providing a flue gas containing one or more odor-causing substances; introducing the flue gas into an odor removal unit; producing a gas-phase stream; dissolving a portion of the gas-phase stream in a solvent to produce a liquid-phase stream; and measuring an absorbance of the liquid-phase stream to identify the odor-causing substances.

An electrostatic atomizing apparatus includes an air flow path, a humidifier, and electrode section, and a control unit. The air flow path has an air intake port and an air exhaust port. The humidifier includes a portion of the air flow path and humidifies air taken in through the air intake port. The electrode section includes a portion of the air flow path and produces charged particulate water by causing water in the air humidified by the humidifier to condense on an electrode and applying voltage to the electrode. A flow rate of the air in the air flow path is regulated in accordance with at least one of humidity and temperature of the air taken in through the air intake port.

The present invention relates to a multilayer absorbent filtering item comprising: a first layer of a porous activated carbon support disposed on a nonwoven polyester-fibre felt; a second layer, where the surface of the first layer is bonded to a film of polymer and low-foam surfactants (mixture A); and a third layer, where the surface of the second layer is bonded to a film comprising an active ingredient and a low-foam surfactant in an acid aqueous medium (mixture B), the top face of said polymer film being bonded to the active ingredient, and the bottom face thereof adhering to the activated carbon, by means of polar and non-polar interactions. Also disclosed are a method for obtaining the multilayer absorbent filtering item and the use of the multilayer absorbent filtering item.

An apparatus for treating air includes a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet, the housing enclosing an air treatment zone and an ozone removal zone, wherein the ozone removal zone is positioned downstream of the air treatment zone with respect to a flow direction of the air being treated, an ozone generator in the air treatment zone configured to generate ozone from the air, wherein the ozone generated by the ozone generator treats the air in the air treatment zone, catalyst in the ozone removal zone that removes at least a portion of the ozone generated the ozone generator, a particle matter (PM) filter positioned between the air treatment zone and the ozone removal zone, wherein the ozone generated by the ozone generator treats the PM filter, and an air mover positioned near the air outlet configured to draw the air through the air inlet.

The present invention includes the composition and manufacturing of a non-prescription consumer product to treat odor and various types of inflammations, infections, and diseases. It embodies a disposable absorbent or nonabsorbent article containing unbound/freely associating adsorbent porous carbonaceous material for the entrapment and/or treatment of odor, pathogens, and adverse biological by-products. The product form includes but is not limited to tampons, panty liners, incontinence pads, diapers, sanitary towels, swabs, balls, casts, pouches, bandages and/or plugs, which contain adsorbent porous carbonaceous material that effectively reduces or eliminates adverse situations sourcing from pathogens and harmful biological by-products, including but not limited to fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The article is used to treat malodor, yeast infections, vaginitis, sexually transmitted diseases, field bullet wound holes, tooth infections, nail-bed and cuticle infections, among others by way of internal insertion and/or complete covering the body cavity, wound, and/or affected areas, creating a clear and direct path for contact with pathogens and adverse biological by-products.

An air purification system includes a conduit extending between an inlet and an outlet, each in fluid communication with an enclosed environment. Ambient air from the enclosed environment enters the conduit via the inlet and treated air exits the conduit and enters the enclosed environment via the outlet. The system further includes a fibrous filter disposed within the conduit and configured to treat the ambient air thereby generating the treated air, and a renewal unit disposed within the conduit and configured to renew the fibrous filter.
