A filter to remove contaminants from potable water. The filter comprises a plurality of porous layers 15,16 forming a fluid path for the water to pass sequentially from the first layer 16 through the layers to the final layer. The first layer 16 is formed of a ceramic and/or sintered material and includes a virucide. Said first layer 16 is distinguishable from an adjacent second layer 15, wherein at least one of the first and second layers 16, 15 comprises a dye material.

Activated carbon for removal of sulfur containing materials from fluids. The activated carbon has a high sulfur capacity and can be manufactured without the addition of a catalyst. Lignite is treated to provide an activated carbon with a high mesoporosity and total surface area. The starting material has a high ash content, such as greater than 10% by weight.

The present invention relates to a cabin filter unit, and may comprise: a HEPA filter; and carbon block filters placed at the rear end of the HEPA filter, wherein each of the carbon block filters has a structure which has multiple perforations formed and distributed throughout the entire area thereof for the flow of air, and is formed to satisfy the perforation ratio of 30-50% with reference to 07-10, two or more carbon block filters being stacked, and disposed to be in close contact with each other or spaced apart from each other.

Embodiments relate to apparatus for manufacturing a carbon block filter and a method for manufacturing a carbon block filter. The apparatus for manufacturing a carbon block filter according to an embodiment may include a mold having an inner space, a heater coupled to the mold to heat the mold, a material injection unit injecting a material to the mold heated by the heater, a material pressing unit pressing the material, and a filter separation unit separating a thermally treated filter from the mold heated by the heater.

Provided concerns a device for treating water of the kind intended for treating running water from a domestic water supply system or other sources of pressurized water, to obtain filtered or treated water, for example, of drinking water quality.

A drinking water treatment system is disclosed. The system includes an ultraviolet (UV) light source and an adsorption medium positioned downstream of the UV light source. The UV light activates residual chlorine in water. The adsorption medium is configured to adsorb any remaining free chlorine from the water. Drinking water treatment systems are disclosed for point-of-use (POU) applications, such as tap-mounted countertop, under-counter, and/or commercial bottling applications, and for point-of-entry (POE).

A filter system is provided that comprises a first filter element in fluid communication with a source of a fluid, wherein the fluid flows through the first filter element and a second filter element in fluid communication with the first filter element, wherein the fluid, flowing through the first filter element flows through the second filter element and is discharged. The first filter element comprises a material adapted to stop the passage of materials greater than a selected size. The second filter element is adapted to remove an organic substance from the liquid.

The invention describes a filter medium (10), in particular for an air filter, in particular an interior air filter or for a fuel cell, including at least three active layers: a catalytic active layer (12) comprising catalytic activated carbon particles (12a), a second active layer (14) comprising impregnated or catalytic activated carbon particles (14a), a third active layer (16) comprising impregnated or catalytic activated carbon particles (16a), wherein at least one active layer comprises impregnated activated carbon particles and the three active layers (12, 14, 16) differ from one another. The invention further discloses a filter media body including the filter medium; a filter element including the filter media body or the filter medium; an air filter including the filter element or the filter media body or the filter medium, and a production method for producing the filter medium.

A method of making activated carbon particles from hemp includes placing raw hemp within a predefined atmosphere to produce activated carbon particles from the raw hemp and carbonizing the raw hemp to produce the activated carbon particles. Hemp filters including the activated carbon particles from hemp are disclosed.

Disclosed is an improved filter core structure, comprising a filter core housing (1), the filter core housing (1) respectively comprising an upper area (11) and a lower area (12) according to high to low positions, the upper area (11) and the lower area (12) being in mutual communication, the upper area (11) being provided with a front filter core (2), the lower area (12) being provided with a kernel filter core (3), and the front filter core (2) comprising at least two filtering materials, and an inner layer core (21) and an outer layer core (22) provided according to position from inside to outside.
