An animal shed system includes an animal shed having an animal shed floor with a first and a second surface spaced apart, such that the floor has a thickness different from zero, and multiple flow holes extending from the first to the second surface; a reservoir situated under the animal shed floor, wherein the flow holes open up to the reservoir, and the flow holes allow a fluid flow from the animal shed to the reservoir; a floor opening in the animal shed floor to allow manure to be dumped in the reservoir; an air extraction device for extracting air underneath the floor, out of the reservoir; and a device extending from the floor opening into the reservoir, wherein the device is configured to prevent an airflow from the animal shed to the reservoir through the floor opening when in use.

Method for treating a carbon black tail gas wherein the carbon black tail gas is catalytically oxidized to produce an oxidized tail gas. The oxidized tail gas is then treated to remove particulate matter and sulfur oxides. If present, nitrogen oxides can be also removed.

An air purification device including a flow passage through which air circulates; an electrical precipitator unit that is disposed in the flow passage and that includes a discharge electrode having a body unit and a corona discharge unit for corona discharge which protrudes from the body unit, and a collecting electrode disposed opposing the discharge electrode; an ozone removal unit that is disposed in the flow passage, and that is capable of removing ozone included in the circulating air, and a control unit that switches between a first mode in which air from which ozone has been removed is supplied from a downstream section of the flow passage to the outside, and a second mode in which air including ozone is supplied from the downstream section of the flow passage to the outside.

An electronic device includes a housing, a photocatalyst filter, at least one first sensor provided in the housing, a blower fan configured to introduce air into the housing, a light source configured to emit light to the photocatalyst filter, and a processor configured to control the blower fan and the light source, determine a degree of contamination of the photocatalyst filter based on a difference in sensor values between the at least one first sensor provided in the housing and at least one second sensor outside of the housing or a rate of change in sensor values between the at least one first sensor provided in the housing and the at least one second sensor outside the housing, and recycle the photocatalyst filter based on the determined degree of contamination of the photocatalyst filter.

There is provided an exhaust system for the treatment of a humid exhaust gas comprising ammonia in an amount of up to 250 ppm, the system comprising: a dehumidifier system comprising a humid air inlet for providing a flow of humid exhaust gas; an exhaust gas inlet for providing a flow of dehumidified exhaust gas; an ammonia storage material arranged to receive the dehumidified exhaust gas from the exhaust gas inlet; an ammonia oxidation catalyst arranged downstream of a selected portion of the ammonia storage material; and a heating device for heating gas before it passes through the selected portion of the ammonia storage material to release ammonia stored therein for treatment on the ammonia oxidation catalyst; wherein the system is configured so that the selected portion of the ammonia storage material changes over time; and wherein the flow of dehumidified exhaust gas provided by the exhaust gas inlet is received from the dehumidifier system.

A photocatalyst filter is provided. The photocatalyst filter includes: a base in which an internal space is formed. The internal space is permeable to fluid, and a plurality of photocatalyst beads are provided in the internal space, wherein a surface of the internal space is reflective.
