The filter according to the present invention is based on the combined action of two materials: tungsten trioxide (WO3), used for implementing the photocatalytic reactor, and a solution of copper (Cu) nanocluster. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, these materials are applied to suitable supports (filters), one of a mesh/grid made of metal (or other material, e.g. plastics material) for the photocatalyst and the other of fabric made of cotton (or other hydrophilic material), for sanitizing the fluids by way of the use of said supports in systems for air treatment (devices which take the air from the environment and/or from the exterior, filter it, and reemit it after passage through the filtration system in question) and/or water filtration.

The present invention has high efficiency and is a significant innovation, including on the basis of the efficacy tests performed in the present period of health emergency, including on the infective virus COVID-19.

Visible-light response hybrid aerogel and a preparation method and application thereof in waste gas processing are disclosed. Dicyandiamide is taken as a precursor and is calcined in two times to prepare a carbon nitride nanosheet; the carbon nitride nanosheet is dispersed in water, silver metavanadate quantum dots are subjected to in-situ growth to prepare a silver metavanadate quantum dot/carbon nitride nanosheet composite material; the silver metavanadate quantum dot/carbon nitride nanosheet composite material and graphene oxide carry out hydrothermal reaction, and are then frozen and dried to prepare silver metavanadate quantum dot/carbon nitride nanosheet/graphene hybrid aerogel which is the visible-light response hybrid aerogel. The problems of large reduction dosage, serious secondary pollution, complexity in operation and the like generated when waste gas is processed by a traditional flue gas denitration technology are overcome.

The present disclosure provides msect-4 molecular sieves with OFF and ERI topologies, a preparation method therefor, and applications thereof. An eight-membered ring small pore molecular sieve used as a raw material is dispersed in an aqueous phase. Following that, caustic potash, an aluminum source, and an organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) are added. The pH value is then adjusted to be greater than 10, and a silicon source is introduced to attain the desired silicon-aluminum ratio, followed by stirring reaction, aging, crystallization, filtration, washing, ammonia exchange reaction, drying, and calcination. The msect-4 molecular sieves with OFF and ERI topologies, the preparation method therefor, and applications exhibit excellent hydrothermal stability, a plurality of adsorption sites exposed by a regular bone-like structure, and a large specific surface area. Consequently, this molecular sieves find applicability across various technical fields including selective catalytic reduction, passive adsorption, and catalytic cracking, and has broad application prospects.
