The present invention describes a Food Waste Recycling system 10 consisting of four major units, crushing, screw conveyor for squeezing, controlled heating for curing and activated carbon filter for deodorization. The present invention uses slow moving crusher blades 28 powered by a slow rotating motor 26 to crush all types of food waste including bones. This increases the surface area for uniform drying. The same motor can be used to rotate the squeezer 30 placed below the crusher. Output of the squeezing unit is fed to the curing unit; containing the stirrer blades 48 and the heater 32 to get the nutrient rich product that can be used as a soil amendment, animal feed or for gardening purpose. By using this device food waste, kitchen waste, herb residues, fruit and vegetable waste, leaves, meat, cereals and even bones can be recycled. The device has advantages of being simple in structure, easy to operate, cost-effective, energy efficient and have short treatment cycle.

An energy-efficient, space-saving, low-cost, waste-heat-utilizing ventilating air conditioning apparatus uses a honeycomb rotor having a function of adsorbing or absorbing contaminants such as carbon dioxide and VOC gas. The honeycomb rotor is disposed in a rotor rotating device having at least a processing zone and a re-generation desorption zone. Air to be processed is passed through the processing zone to remove contaminants such as carbon dioxide to produce supply air. Water is directly sprayed or dropped into a heat exchanger provided at an entrance of the re-generation desorption zone to evaporate the generated water film by heating. The generated saturated steam is introduced for desorbing carbon dioxide and pollutants, and the stream is discharged the stream outdoors. The ventilating air conditioning apparatus can operate without the energy loss associated with ventilation.

A multifunction mat includes two outer fabric layers, a resin cotton layer, two non-woven fabric layers, an activated carbon filter layer and a breathable waterproof layer. The outer fabric layers are disposed on top and bottom surfaces of the multifunction mat respectively. The resin cotton layer is sandwiched between one outer fabric layer on the top surface and the non-woven fabric layer and is secured to one outer fabric layer. One non-woven fabric layer is sandwiched between the resin cotton layer and the activated carbon filter layer and the other non-woven fabric layer is sandwiched between the activated carbon filter layer and the breathable waterproof layer. The activated carbon filter layer is sandwiched between the non-woven fabric layers and is capable of destroying odors of air. The breathable waterproof layer is sandwiched between the other outer fabric layer on the bottom surface and the other non-woven fabric layer.

An ostomy pouching device is configured to allow two-way flow of gas between the device and a stoma bag (100). A check valve (104) is configured to allow ambient air into a channel of the device, and thereby into the stoma bag, when a pressure of the gas in the channel is less than a pressure of the ambient air; another check valve (105) is configured to allow gas to flow into a deodorizing reactor (110) when a pressure of the gas in the channel is greater than a pressure of the ambient air. The deodorizing reactor includes a plasma reactor configured to generate plasma in the channel for deodorizing the gas in the channel before being expelled from the device into the ambient air. The plasma reactor is preferably a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor. It may also include a secondary active carbon filter.

Disclosed is a process for treating a stale gas, involving the following steps: circulation of the stale gas in a gas/liquid contactor, called a contactor, and then circulation of the stale gas in a filter unit, called a filter unit, the process involving, in the contactor, placing a circulating liquid in contact with the stale gas, the circulating liquid having a temperature of between 2 and 15 C., preferably between 5 and 10 C., and also to a treatment unit for performing the process including a gas/liquid contactor and a filter unit.

A filter includes a filter outer wall, and a filter inner wall spaced apart from the filter outer wall. The filter inner wall and the filter outer wall define a filter void therebetween, and the filter inner wall and the filter outer wall extend along a filter axis. A volume of filtration material is positioned in the filter void, and a plurality of baffles extend between the filter inner wall and the filter outer wall. The plurality of baffles are configured to induce a helical component to an airflow entering the filter void at a first void end relative to the filter axis and exiting the filter void at a second void end opposite the first void end.
