Accordingly, the helmet, including the adsorption filter structure, is designed to be easily detached without protrusion so that a wearer's field of vision is secured, wherein the adsorption filter structure that is not restricted in actions during work is applied. The adsorption layer, the filtration layer, and the shielding layer are stacked therein so as to exhibit optimal efficiency, and thus the filtration efficiency is increased.

Included are methods and systems for recycling a gas emitted from non-aqueous cleaning. An example method includes contacting a contaminated equipment with a non-aqueous cleaning material; wherein the spent non-aqueous cleaning material emits the gas. The method further comprises capturing the emitted gas, filtering the emitted gas, and recycling the emitted gas into the non-aqueous cleaning material.

The technology disclosed herein relates to a filter assembly. The filter assembly has a double-sided adhesive layer having a first side and a second side and defining a filter opening. A first membrane extends over the filter opening and is directly coupled to the first side of the double-sided adhesive layer about the filter opening. An adsorbent element is directly coupled to the first membrane, where the adsorbent element and the first membrane are coextensive. A second membrane encapsulates the first membrane and the adsorbent element. The second membrane is directly coupled to the first side of the double-sided adhesive layer around the first membrane and adsorbent element.

A self contained, 1 V to 550 V powered UVC device used to sterilize spaces like vehicle cabins or indoor rooms or spaces, while providing the ability to monitor both pre and post sterilization. While operating, the device would collect, on suitable gathering/testing media, both air that has been sterilized, and unsterilized air that passes through the media, allowing the media to be tested for the presence of both active pathogens that have not yet been killed from the device, as well as killed pathogens in the sterilized area. The UVC and media components may be integrated into one unit, or be powered and used both in combination, or as separate devices performing the sterilization and the sampling media. At the termination of UVC sterilization, additional different media has the now sterilized cabin or room air circulated through it, and with further media testing and evaluation, the efficiency/effectiveness of the sterilization process can be audited, and system operators can be advised.

The disclosure discloses an anti-haze anti-harmful gas air filter membrane as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The air filter membrane comprises a nano fiber membrane made of nano fibers and having a two-dimensional or three-dimensional network structure. The nano fiber membrane can be a high-molecular polymer nano fiber membrane prepared by utilizing an electrostatic spinning process, and can also be doped with an organic or inorganic additive capable of adsorbing and absorbing harmful gases, such as VOCs, NO.sub.x, SO.sub.x and NH.sub.3, in the air and/or a photocatalyst capable of degrading these harmful gases in a photocatalysis manner, or the like. The anti-haze anti-harmful gas air filter membrane disclosed by the disclosure can efficiently filter PM2.5 and PM10 particulate pollutants and the like in the air and simultaneously can efficiently identify and clear multiple harmful gases in the air. The anti-haze anti-harmful gas air filter membrane has a wide application prospect in the field of air purification, for example, can be applied to air purification devices, such as screen windows, gauze masks and filter screens.

The present disclosure concerns the field of vacuum cleaners and, in particular, those which have a filter bag for collecting air entrained detritus. The invention relates especially to a vacuum cleaner which reduces the exposure to the operator of dust and contaminated matter collected during cleaning when replacing the filter bag. The invention provides a vacuum cleaner comprising a suction drive unit in fluid communication with a vacuum chamber for accommodating a filter cartridge, the vacuum chamber itself being fed by a fluid inlet port in communication with a nozzle via which air is drawn into the vacuum chamber when the suction drive unit is in operation, wherein the filter cartridge comprises a gas-porous membrane including wall portions which define a filter interior, the cartridge having an airflow inlet at one end through which air-entrained dirt enters the filter, with dirt retained in the interior and air passing through the gas-porous membrane, wherein the chamber is configurable between open and closed configurations, so that in the closed configuration the cartridge filter is enclosed and constrained within the vacuum chamber with the cartridge inlet disposed so as to be fed by the fluid inlet port, and in the open configuration the constraint is at least partially removed so that the cartridge is free to be removed from the chamber by travel in a removal direction.

The present invention relates to a filter medium, a filter arrangement for the filtration of gas-particle systems comprising such a filter medium, a method for depleting pathogens and/or allergens from the air and other gases by means of such a filter medium, and the use of the filter medium for depleting pathogens and/or allergens from the air and other gases. The filter medium includes at least one acid-functionalized layer comprising at least one carrier material and at least one fruit acid having a pks1 value of 0 to 7. The at least one acid-functionalized layer is free of added C.sub.8 to C.sub.18 fatty acids and their esters and amides thereof. The at least one acid-functionalized layer contains the at least one fruit acid in an amount of 2 wt. % to 30 wt. %, based on the total weight of the at least one acid-functionalized layer.

Embodiments relate generally to a filter, for example, for attachment onto a gas detector device or a gas sensor, and attempt to improve the efficiency and service life of the filter. Embodiments typically comprise a dustproof membrane and a waterproof membrane. Some embodiments may also comprise a splash-proof cap and/or features to reduce negative pressure on the filters.

The present invention relates to the field of machines for cleaning, particularly vacuum cleaning devices. There is disclosed a filter cartridge for a vacuum cleaner comprising first and second opposite end walls, a side wall or walls which extend between the end walls so as to define an enclosure which surrounds a filter interior, wherein one or more of the walls comprises filter membrane material, the cartridge having an opening provided through the first end wall for receiving air-entrained detritus into the interior, the opening being defined by a rigid support structure which spans and supports the first end wall of the cartridge. The cartridge typically includes a non-return valve which closes when suction is removed so as to help prevent collected detritus escaping from the filter cartridge interior. The valve may comprise a conical valve with flexible facets, or a cantilever flap.
