The invention provides a system for sanitizing fluids such as water and air. In particular, the invention provides a combination of solid chlorhexidine and a polymer matrix, for which effluents are essentially free of leached chlorhexidine. The systems enable rapid disinfecting of fluids, including in line at the point of use, and can be employed for both high volume applications and disposable single-use applications.

The invention belongs to the field of eliminating pollutant gases. In particular, the invention belongs to the field of pollutant gas-absorbing material such as CO2, SO2, NOx and VOCs.

The present invention relates to a fresh composite or composite paste and a composite material comprising aggregates of recycled concrete, porous carbon, a binder and optionally water, as well as to the method for manufacturing the composite and the use thereof for sanitizing air (indoor or outdoor). The invention also relates to an article (for example, an anti-noise wall, a tunnel lining, an indoor decoration, an item of street furniture, etc.) comprising the composite according to the invention.

An air pollution prevention device applied for a baby carriage includes a sealing cover, a filtration cleaner, a gas detection module and an intelligent control and process device. The sealing cover is hooded on the baby carriage for forming a sealed space. The filtration cleaner penetrates the sealing cover form the outside of the baby carriage for introducing an outside air into the sealed space of the baby carriage and discharging an air pollution source out of the sealed space. The gas detection module detects the air pollution source and outputs gas detection data. The intelligent control and process device receives and compares the gas detection data and controls an enablement of a gas guider of the filtration cleaner for filtering and exchanging the air pollution source in the sealed space so as to generate a clean air.

An air cleaning apparatus including a housing that includes one or more intake vents and one or more exhaust vents. The air cleaning apparatus also can include an air chamber within the housing. The air cleaning apparatus additionally can include one or more disinfecting lights directed toward the air chamber. The air cleaning apparatus further can include a fan operable to perform moving air from outside the housing in a first direction through the one or more intake vents and into the air chamber to be exposed to the one or more disinfecting lights, and, after the air is exposed within the air chamber to the one or more disinfecting lights, moving the air from of the air chamber through the one or more exhaust vents in one or more second directions that are other than approximately parallel to the first direction. The air cleaning apparatus additionally can include a vortex reflector positioned adjacent to the air chamber and across from the one or more disinfecting lights. The air cleaning apparatus further can include vortex-inducing walls within the air chamber. Other embodiments are described.

An improved technology for inactivation of viruses, for example the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is causing the Covid-19 pandemic, is described. The technology can include a device that includes a substrate coated in a polymer that is infused with a pathogen inactivating material. In various embodiments, at a given time, a portion of the pathogen inactivating material is exposed to the environment, and the device is configured to periodically or intermittently expose additional pathogen inactivating material to the environment. For example, the polymer can be ablative or sacrificial.

The present invention discloses an air purifier with a photocatalyst, including an air intake structure and an air discharge structure. The air intake structure is provided with a purification cavity, and a connection seat is provided in the purification cavity and is provided with a photocatalyst purification member detachably mounted to the connection seat. The air purifier with a photocatalyst of the present invention has a simple structure and a rational design, and demounting and mounting operations of photocatalyst purification member are simple, easy and quick, thereby effectively improving the demounting and mounting efficiency of the photocatalyst purification member.

A method for removing contaminants from exhaust air and liquid using a disinfection device comprising a housing having a chamber and a top end. The chamber has a body and a reducing part. The reducing part comprises a first opening at the bottom end of the chamber and a floating body configured to seal the first opening at the bottom end. The disinfection device further comprises a spiral guiding channel having an inlet and an outlet connecting to the chamber; and an exhaust conduit having an expandable part at one end of the exhaust conduit. The exhaust conduit connects to the top end of the housing and partially extends through the body of the chamber. A nonluminous disinfection part is installed in the disinfection device interior so as to remove air contaminants when air is passing through the chamber from the spiral guiding channel to the exhaust conduit.

Provided is a biomaterial removing device including an air injection part, a first processing part spaced apart from the air injection part, and a second processing part spaced apart from the air injection part with the first processing part therebetween, wherein the first processing part includes a first biomaterial removing part configured to remove biomaterials included in air collected from the air injection part and a first monitoring part, and the second processing part includes a second biomaterial removing part configured to remove the residual biomaterials and a second monitoring part, wherein the first biomaterial removing part includes a dry air purifier, the second biomaterial removing part includes a wet air purifier, and the first biomaterial removing part and the second biomaterial removing part each include an image sensor.

A method of forming and fluid treatment system includes a vessel that is defined by a body having an inlet constructed to be connected to a fluid source and an outlet that is constructed to be connected to a discharge passage defined by a direction of a fluid flow directed through the body. The body is preferably three-dimensionally (3D) printed as a unitary body and from a filament material to define the entirety of the body including the inlet and the outlet. The vessel is preferably formed of an antimicrobial or other materials configured to manipulate the composition of the fluid flow directed therethrough and via direct contact of the fluid flow with the interior spaces of the body of the vessel.
