A portable air filtration and disinfection device for a respirator system includes a casing, an inhalation filter assembly, and an exhalation filter assembly. The inhalation filter assembly includes an intake duct for receiving breathing air, an inhalation gas filter for filtering the breathing air, and an inhalation duct to provide the filtered breathing air. The exhalation filter assembly includes an exhalation duct for receiving exhaled air, an exhalation gas filter and an exhalation liquid filter for filtering and disinfecting the exhaled air, and an outlet duct for releasing the filtered and disinfected exhaled air.

There are provided a method capable of producing a large amount of a carbonaceous material for a negative electrode of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery from a carbon precursor impregnated with an alkali metal element or an alkali metal compound, and an apparatus for performing such production. The method for producing a carbonaceous material for a negative electrode of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a heat treatment step of feeding a carbon precursor containing an elemental alkali metal and/or an alkali metal compound, heating the carbon precursor in a temperature range from 1000° C. to 1500° C. in a non-oxidizing gas atmosphere to produce a carbonaceous material, and discharging the carbonaceous material; and an exhaust gas treatment step of contacting a non-oxidizing exhaust gas containing a gas and a flying carbonaceous matter evolved in the heat treatment step with water or an aqueous solution to treat the exhaust gas.

A semiconductor waste abatement system for a semiconductor processing system includes a vacuum pump, an abatement apparatus having an abatement chamber in fluid communication with a source of semiconductor waste gas from the semiconductor processing chamber, and with the abatement chamber configured to ionize the waste gas and to exhaust ionized gas. The abatement system further includes a filter apparatus with a filter chamber, which forms a liquid reservoir. The inlet of the filter apparatus is in fluid communication with the outlet of the abatement chamber and the liquid reservoir, and the outlet of the filter apparatus is in communication with the inlet of the vacuum pump, wherein the filter chamber is under a vacuum, and wherein semiconductor waste gas is ionized in the abatement chamber and then filtered by the filter apparatus prior to input to the vacuum pump.
