In the case of an air purifying apparatus having a filter medium in which the photocatalytic filter and the antibacterial filter are laminated in the air circulation passage, the sterilizing effect is increased when the sterilizing effect is increased. Due to their size, silver-based antibacterial agents are used as antibacterial agents, but they become silver halide in an environment where chlorine-based substances are present and under light irradiation, and the antibacterial properties are lost, resulting in a short life. In addition to the above, it also has a problem of safety for human body and environment. Furthermore, the problem that the antibacterial agent is detached or peeled off from the filter medium and causes secondary pollution is pointed out, and the use in the fields requiring high safety such as food, pharmaceuticals, and medical care is restricted. have. Further, in the case of an air conditioner in which an ultraviolet lamp is provided between the photocatalytic filter and the medium performance filter, only the photocatalytic reaction due to the combination of the ultraviolet lamp and the photocatalyst affects the sterilization effect of the entire device, so There was an inconvenience that the bacterial effect itself was low from the beginning. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an air cleaning device that can maintain an excellent sterilization effect for a long period of time.

The photocatalyst filtering material may have any shape such as a cloth shape, a honeycomb shape, and a paper shape. However, any increase in pressure loss can be suppressed, and there is no ultraviolet ray leakage, so that various types of gaseous pollution can be obtained. From the viewpoint of safe decomposition of the substance, it is preferable to use a breathable sheet obtained by immobilizing a photocatalyst on a network base material having an opening ratio of 10 to 50%. If the opening ratio is less than 10%, the light transmittance may be lowered, the air permeability may be deteriorated, and the pressure loss may be increased. If the opening ratio exceeds 50%, the effect of the photocatalyst may be reduced. In addition, ultraviolet rays leak to the outside, which poses a safety issue. Further, since the photocatalyst itself can be easily regenerated by heating, it is preferable to use a heat resistant substrate. Further, from the viewpoint of the adsorption function of gaseous pollutants, it is preferable to use a substrate whose surface is made porous by acid treatment or the like.

As described above, according to the air cleaning apparatus of the present invention, due to the synergistic effect of the photocatalytic filter part and the enzyme filter part, the excellent antibacterial effect is obtained in addition to the dust removing function and the gas removing function. It is possible to obtain an air purifying device that can maintain the above for a long period of time. In particular, by using an ultraviolet lamp having a wavelength of 254 nm as a light source, the synergistic effect of the sterilizing effect of the photocatalytic filter part and the enzyme filter part and the bactericidal action of the ultraviolet lamp having a wavelength of 254 nm provides an excellent bactericidal effect for a long time. An air purifying device that can be maintained as a result is obtained. In addition, because it does not use an inorganic antibacterial agent that supports a metal such as silver, but uses an enzyme filter part that has a bactericidal action, it has excellent safety,
It can be used in fields requiring safety, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and medical care.
