A method of manufacturing absorbent material from bird feather includes the steps of selecting an appropriate feather material, perform a pre-treatment for cleaning and sterilizing the feather material, crushing the feather material into a crushed material of a size of 0.1 um˜1 cm, and performing a modification treatment of the crushed material by surface activation to produce an absorbent material. After the crushed feather material is processed by a modification treatment, the material may be used to manufacture an absorbent material having both deodoring and filtering functions for adsorbing metal ions, organic solvents, grease or volatile gases.

Ionization systems configured with a catalyst-bearing sleeve provide improved filtration while keeping ozone levels within acceptable limits. Modular configurations provide for serviceability and replaceability. System controls monitor particulates, temperature, humidity, and other relevant factors and adjust an ionization level accordingly for optimal performance.

Disclosed herein is an air cleaner which performs dust collection and sterilization as well as deodorization while having a small size enough to be fitted into a vehicle cup holder for its use, and has a strong and easy maintenance structure. The air cleaner includes a photocatalytic UV LED (57) installed on an UV LED substrate (55), and a photocatalytic filter installed on a surface facing the photocatalytic UV LED while being spaced apart from the UV LED substrate. The photocatalytic filter has a structure in which a photocatalytic material is coated on a base in which a plurality of cells (83) defining an air flow path in a direction toward the photocatalytic UV LED are arranged in parallel adjacent to each other.

A waste gas scrubbing tower includes a tower body unit, a filtration unit arranged in the tower body unit, a washing unit that introduces water from an external supply into the tower body unit. The tower body unit includes division boards that define a plurality of channels through which waste gas flows, the tower body unit including a waste gas inlet opening and a waste gas outlet opening. The filtration unit includes a plurality of filter members, which are arranged in the channels. The washing unit is operable to generate water mist curtains in the channels to wash the waste gas so that the waste gas that enters the waste gas scrubbing tower is subjected to multiple times of washing and filtration and purification.

A flexible panel in a sealable bag for disaster recovery has permeable inner layers and an impermeable outer layer affixed together so as to provide a plurality of cavities for receiving sorbent material. The cavities are arranged in a pattern across the flexible panel. A port is shown extending through all of the layers of the flexible panel. The port is used for introducing into and removing gas and/or liquid from the bag. The flexible panel may have one or more electronic components operable to monitor or control the chemical environment in the bag. The components may be affixed or printed on internal layers of the bag, such as: a conductor, a heater, a processor, a communications transmitter, a communications receiver and a GPS receiver. A remote module in electrical and/or wireless communication with the bag is operable to monitor and control the chemical environment in the bag.

Hollow core door apparatus for preventing the build up of pressure in a room having a register through which air flows into the room and the door includes an inside door skin and an outside door skin, and the door skins includes openings through which air flows and a center panel between the skins and spaced part from the skins. The center panel has an outer perimeter greater than the inner perimeter of the openings. The center panel is spaced apart from the skins, and also from the adjacent stiles and rails. A chamber is formed about the panel and between the adjacent stiles and rails and the openings in the skins. Air flow from the room is through the opening in the inside skin into the chamber, around the outer periphery of the panel, and outwardly through the opening in the outside skin in a non-linear manner.

Compositions that can be used to adsorb low concentration, of unwanted or target substances from a dynamic fluid stream or from an enclosed static vapor phase. Such adsorbency can be obtained with thermoplastic materials used in the form of bulk polymer or a film, fiber, web, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, sheet, packaging and other such structures including or surrounding the enclosed volume. The concentration should be reduced to non-offensive sensed limits or a limit that does not produce a biological response.

A process for producing an adsorbent comprising activated carbon, wherein the process comprises a molding step of molding an adsorbent through a plurality of stages, and wherein the molding step comprises molding in a final stage performed by tableting.

An in-line modular air filtering system for ductwork. A housing formed as a body and one or more caps has an intake opening at a first end and an outflow opening at a second end. The cap and body may attach to one another at a junction containing a seal with a stepped cross-sectional configuration. A set of retaining clamps may be used to secure the cap on the body. One or more replaceable filter assemblies may be retained in the housing for filtering air passed therethough. A filter assembly may include a seal having the stepped cross-sectional configuration for securing in the housing and sealing the cap and body junction. Filter assemblies may have differing porosities and/or different filtering mechanisms and may be stacked for applying multiple treatments.
