Mittel und Verfahren zur Entfernung von Schadstoffen aus GasenMeans and methods for removing pollutants from gases
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Mittel und ein Verfahren zur Entfernung von Schadstoffen aus Gasen, umfassend Wachse, die alkoxylierte Verbindungen enthalten.The present invention relates to an agent and a method for removing pollutants from gases, comprising waxes which contain alkoxylated compounds.
In geschlossenen Räumen kann die Beladung der Luft mit Nicotin und flüchtigen Verbrennungsprodukten infolge von Tabakkonsum so hoch sein, dass eine gesundheitliche Schädigung von im Raum befindlichen Personen auf längere Sicht nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann.In closed rooms, air pollution with nicotine and volatile combustion products as a result of tobacco consumption can be so high that long-term damage to the health of people in the room cannot be excluded.
Eine andere Gesundheitsgefahr entsteht bei sommerlichen Wetterbedingungen besonders im städtischen Bereich, wo durch eine vergleichsweise hohe Stickoxid- Konzentration die Ozonkonzentration so hoch werden kann, dass Fahrverbote für KFZ ausgesprochen werden müssen, und Menschen durch das Ozon entsprechende Probleme erleiden.Another health hazard arises in summer weather conditions, especially in urban areas, where a comparatively high nitrogen oxide concentration can cause the ozone concentration to become so high that driving bans must be pronounced for vehicles and people suffer corresponding problems from the ozone.
Um Schadstoffe aus Gasen zu entfernen werden chemisch oder physikalisch arbeitende Filtersysteme hergestellt, die sowohl im Gebäudeklimabereich, aber auch zur Klimatisierung von Personenzellen moderner Verkehrsmittel (Busse, Bahnen, LKW, PKW, Flugzeuge) verwendet werden.In order to remove pollutants from gases, chemically or physically working filter systems are produced, which are used both in the building climate area, but also for the air conditioning of passenger cells of modern means of transport (buses, trains, trucks, cars, airplanes).
Stand der Technik ist nach US-4 339 250 das Entfernen von Partikeln mittels elektrostatisch arbeitender Hochspannungszellen. Nicotin und Geruchsstoffe werden auf Aktivkohleoberflächen gebunden. Auf den Oberflächen von wasserlöslichen Salzen, die sich auf Zellulosefasern befinden, ist die Bindung von Nicotin gemäß US-4 896 683 ebenfalls möglich.
Die Beseitigung von Gerüchen mit Hilfe von Duftstoffen, die aus geeigneten Geräten freigegeben werden, ist in US-5 087 273 offenbart.According to US Pat. No. 4,339,250, the prior art is the removal of particles by means of electrostatically operating high-voltage cells. Nicotine and odorants are bound on activated carbon surfaces. The binding of nicotine according to US Pat. No. 4,896,683 is also possible on the surfaces of water-soluble salts which are located on cellulose fibers. The elimination of odors with the aid of fragrances released from suitable devices is disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,087,273.
Die Entfernung von Ozon aus der Luft mittels auf einem Substrat befindlichen Manganoxids oder Ceroxids, das aus löslichen Mangan- oder Cersalzen hergestellt wurde, wird in US-4200609 vorgeschlagen.The removal of ozone from the air by means of manganese oxide or cerium oxide on a substrate, which was produced from soluble manganese or cerium salts, is proposed in US Pat. No. 4,200,609.
Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass die genannten Filter nach einmaliger Verwendung nicht mehr regeneriert werden können, sondern als Müll entsorgt werden müssen.However, it has been shown that the filters mentioned can no longer be regenerated after a single use, but must be disposed of as waste.
Weiter ist die Wirksamkeit der beschriebenen Filter zeitlich sehr begrenzt, so dass sehr früh ein Filterwechsel vorgenommen werden muss. Die beschriebenen Adsorbentien sind darüber hinaus nur für die Bindung jeweils eines der genannten Schadstoffe geeignet.Furthermore, the effectiveness of the filters described is very limited in time, so that a filter change must be carried out very early. The adsorbents described are also only suitable for binding one of the pollutants mentioned.
Es bestand daher die Aufgabe, ein Mittel bereitzustellen, dass zur Gasreinigung geeignet ist, und die genannten Nachteile nicht aufweist.The object was therefore to provide an agent which is suitable for gas purification and does not have the disadvantages mentioned.
Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, dass sich Wachse, die Alkylenoxidaddukte enthalten, besonders gut als Adsorbens für Schadstoffe wie Nikotin, Formaldehyd und Ozon aus Gasen eignen. Es wurde außerdem gefunden, diese Wachse in Abmischung mit Alkylenoxidcopolymeren oder auch mit Alkoholen geeignet sind, Geruchsstoffe aus Gasen zu binden. Es wurde außerdem gefunden, dass sich mit dem alkoxylierten Wachs hergestellte Adsorber regenerieren lassen und die Menge an Adsorber-Abfall reduziert wird.Surprisingly, it was found that waxes containing alkylene oxide adducts are particularly suitable as adsorbents for pollutants such as nicotine, formaldehyde and ozone from gases. It has also been found that these waxes, when mixed with alkylene oxide copolymers or with alcohols, are suitable for binding odorants from gases. It has also been found that adsorbers produced with the alkoxylated wax can be regenerated and the amount of adsorber waste is reduced.
