An air purification system includes a conduit extending between an inlet and an outlet, each in fluid communication with an enclosed environment. Ambient air from the enclosed environment enters the conduit via the inlet and treated air exits the conduit and enters the enclosed environment via the outlet. The system further includes a fibrous filter disposed within the conduit and configured to treat the ambient air thereby generating the treated air, and a renewal unit disposed within the conduit and configured to renew the fibrous filter.

A composite material is provided comprising a porous polymeric matrix having metal-organic framework (MOF) domains dispersed within the porous polymeric matrix, each of said MOF domains in fluid communication with the external environment through the pores in the porous polymeric matrix. A process of using the composite material to chemically modify or detoxify a chemical warfare agent or a toxic industrial chemical is also provided. The chemical warfare agent or the toxic industrial chemical is brought into contact with a MOF domain within the porous polymeric matrix so that the MOFs adsorb and chemically modify the chemical warfare agent or the toxic industrial chemical. A process for producing such a composite material is also disclosed.

An apparatus and method for wet cleaning a gas stream has a housing with a gas inlet and a gas outlet, wherein, in the housing, there is at least a first washing segment that serves to clean the gas stream with a washing liquid and that is arranged in the flow path of the gas stream. Inside the housing of the apparatus, there is at least one fan that regulates air pressure along the flow path of the gas stream. A bypass channel for bypassing the flow path through the at least one washing segment as well as a regulator that is arranged in the bypass and that serves to discharge the gas stream being conveyed via the bypass channel are arranged inside the housing.

A gas trap system for metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) exhaust abatement operations is provided. The gas trap system may include a housing including an inlet configured to receive exhaust gas and an outlet. The gas trap system may also include a conical inlet shield positioned within the housing. The conical inlet shield may form a first path between the housing and the conical inlet shield, wherein the first path receives the exhaust gas from the inlet. The conical inlet shield may also cool the exhaust gas and cause the exhaust gas to be uniformly distributed in the first path. The gas trap system may also include a filter configured to receive the exhaust gas from the first path and to filter the exhaust gas, wherein the filtered gas exhaust is provided to the outlet.

Proposed is a multi-layer filtration system including a metal catalyst filter unit, a carbon filter unit, and an inorganic compound filter unit. The metal catalyst filter unit includes at least one among metals including Ni, Co, Fe, Cu, Cr, Mg, Zn, Ba, Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, Ru, Mn, and Ti, oxides thereof, and mixtures thereof. The carbon filter unit includes at least one of activated carbon or activated carbon fiber. The inorganic compound filter unit includes an inorganic compound capable of adsorbing toxic gas. The multi-layer filtration system has good removal effect for toxic gas. A filter module including the multi-layer filtration system and a gas mask including the multi-layer filtration system are also proposed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and systems of circulating air in an enclosed environment. In such embodiments, the system may comprise an air handling unit (AHU), the AHU including an indoor air inlet to receive an indoor airflow from the enclosed environment and an indoor air outlet to expel the indoor airflow, a conditioning element arranged between the inlet and the outlet configured to at least heat or cool the indoor airflow as it flows thereover, one or more fan units arranged between the inlet and the outlet configured to provide velocity to the indoor airflow, and an air treatment assembly (ATA) arranged within or proximate the AHU, the ATA including an air inlet configured to receive a portion of the indoor airflow received by the AHU indoor air inlet.

A device for processing waste is described herein that comprises an ion generator, a furnace chamber, a heat exchanger, a pollution control system, and a chimney. The ion generator converts atmospheric air into an ionized gas and the furnace chamber thermally decays the waste by combining the waste with a product of an interaction of the ionized gas and heat generated by the furnace chamber. The heat exchanger cools the excess gas. A wet scrubber system removes heavy metals and/or acid gases from the cooled excess gas to generate scrubbed excess gas, and a fixed bed coke system detoxifies the scrubbed excess gas by converting carbon monoxide, water, and steam in the scrubbed excess gas to carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and removing remaining acid gas, a remaining heavy metal, and/or a remaining dioxin from the scrubbed excess gas. The chimney transfers remaining scrubbed excess gas out of the device.

Provided is a method for decomposing nicotine in a simple way. A method for decomposing nicotine, according to the present invention, includes a step(a) of irradiating ultraviolet light with a main peak wavelength of 200 nm to 230 nm in a target room allowing smoking to decompose the nicotine.

The present disclosure provides an exhaust system for discharging from semiconductor manufacturing equipment a hazardous gas. The exhaust system includes: a main exhaust pipe having a top surface and a bottom surface; a first branch pipe including an upstream end coupled to a source of a gas mixture containing the hazardous gas and a downstream end connected to the main exhaust pipe through the top surface; a second branch pipe including a downstream end connected to the main exhaust pipe through the bottom surface; and a detector configured to detect presence of the hazardous gas in the second branch pipe.

The present invention relates to an air cleaner and, more particularly, to an air cleaner provided with a housing divided into an outer housing and an inner housing, wherein the outer housing and the inner housing are separated from one another, a photocatalytic filter and a collection filter are installed in the inner housing, and air flows even through the space between the inner housing and the outer housing. The present invention provides an air cleaner comprising: an outer housing defining an inlet and an outlet; an inner housing disposed in the outer housing and formed to be separated from the outer housing; a fan installed in the inner housing to forcibly discharge air in the outlet direction; a photocatalytic filter installed in the inner housing and disposed in the direction in which air from the fan is discharged or in the direction opposite to that in which the air is discharged; and an ultraviolet light source disposed upstream of the photocatalytic filter in the direction of airflow created by the fan in order to irradiate the photocatalytic filter with ultraviolet rays.
