Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep the deodorizing capacity for a long period by sticking a photocatalyst layer on the surface of adsorbent, or kneading a photocatalyst in an adsorbent, and providing an exciting source to excite the potocatalyst. CONSTITUTION:A photocatalyst 3 of TiO2, WO3, Fe2O3, GaAs, MOS2, etc., is stuck to the surface of honeycomb-formed adsorbent 1 such as activated carbon, or photocatalyst is kneaded in the adsorbent. The adsorbent adsorbs malodor such as mercaptan. When ultraviolet rays are projected to the adsorbent 1 from an ultraviolet ray lamp 4 to excite the photocatalyst 3, the adsorbed malodor components are desorbed, and, at the same time, decomposed by the photocatalyst 3.

The deodorizing device of the present invention, for example, forms a photocatalyst layer on the surface of an adsorbent, irradiates the photocatalyst with light from a light source that excites the photocatalyst layer, excites the photocatalyst, decomposes the odor components adsorbed on the adsorbent, and deodorizes. It maintains its effect for a long time. That is, among the odor components passing through the ventilation passage in the deodorizing device, those components having a high decomposition rate are quickly oxidized and decomposed by the oxidizing action of OH radicals generated on the photocatalyst surface by the excitation light. In this case, odor components with a slow decomposition rate are adsorbed by the adsorbent, but as the odor components are adsorbed, the concentration of the odor components on the surface of the adsorbent increases, so they can be efficiently removed by repeated irradiation with excitation light. .

We were able to demonstrate that the use of adsorbents can speed up deodorization by collecting and decomposing odors in the adsorbent. Deodorization is carried out continuously by lighting an ultraviolet lamp while flushing odor, but since adsorption occurs quickly due to the van der Waals force of the adsorbent, intermittent irradiation is performed by collecting odor components in the adsorbent and then turning on an ultraviolet lamp. It can also be deodorized by When an adsorbent is formed in a honeycomb shape, the outer periphery becomes fragile, so by providing a buffer band around the outer periphery, cracks in the outer periphery can be prevented and the range of practical use is widened. Honeycomb activated carbon is used as the adsorbent.

Since the firing temperature of honeycomb activated carbon is as high as 1,000° C., it does not contain organic substances, so it can be used effectively even when exposed to ultraviolet rays. FIG. 6 shows the manufacturing process of honeycomb activated carbon. Further, FIG. 7 shows a process of immersing honeycomb activated carbon in a titania sol having anatase crystals and adding titania particles of anatase crystals, that is, a photocatalyst, to the surface of the honeycomb activated carbon. The adsorbent is not limited to honeycomb activated carbon, but also zeolite, porous ceramic,
Similar deodorizing performance can be obtained using silica gel.

The photocatalyst is not limited to titanium oxide of anatase crystals, but also single metal oxides such as titanium oxide, tungsten oxide, and zinc oxide, as well as composites thereof, can be used to obtain similar deodorizing performance. The excitation source that excites the photocatalyst must provide energy greater than the band gap inherent to the photocatalyst, as shown in the table below.

Since the deodorizing performance is improved by increasing the surface area as much as possible, the shape of the adsorbent material can be selected from honeycomb shapes, sponge shapes, net shapes, concentric circles, and concentric square shapes depending on the mounting mechanism. Furthermore, in order not to reduce the adsorption performance of the adsorbent, the particle size of the photocatalyst added to the surface of the adsorbent must be sufficiently larger than the adsorption pores of the adsorbent. A specific example in which the deodorizing device according to the present invention is installed in a refrigerator will be described next.

A photocatalyst is a substance that converts light energy into chemical energy, and has a band gap (3 eV in the case of titanium dioxide).
When energy of more than 410 m) is applied to the wavelength of light, the electrons in the valence band jump to the conduction band and become polarized, and the electrons in the conductor and the holes generated in the valence band become polarized. This will induce a chemical reaction. For example, the hydroxyl group OH- present on the surface of the photocatalyst becomes a radical due to the above holes, and this OH radical becomes an active species to oxidize and decompose the odor component. In this case, odor components that are easily decomposed are decomposed before being adsorbed by each activated carbon 14.15, and odor components that have a slow decomposition rate are decomposed by each activated carbon 14.15.

) is carried out. By repeating the adsorption (3) and decomposition (4), it functions as a deodorizing device. Although not shown in Fig. 9, adsorption and decomposition can be performed simultaneously by synchronizing the operation of the fan and turning on the light source at the same time while the fan is operating. When pressed, the fan and light source can be operated at the same time, and when the deodorizing device is stopped after an arbitrary period of time, the fan and light source may be stopped and turned off at the same time. In addition, there are ways to turn on the light source intermittently, such as turning it on and off repeatedly at regular intervals starting in the evening, turning it on once a day for a certain period of time, or turning it on twice a day.
You can select the lighting time so that it turns on twice. Further, it is possible to select to turn on the light source, that is, to decompose the odor, in synchronization with the operation mode specific to the device in which the deodorizing device according to the present invention is installed. - To give an example, the present deodorizing device can be installed in a refrigerator, and the light source can be turned on during defrosting operation to periodically remove frost from the cooler inside the refrigerator. If the light source is set close to the adsorbent when the light source is turned on, the adsorbent will be warmed when the light source is turned on, which will have the effect of expelling odor components absorbed by the adsorbent, increasing the cleaning effect of the adsorbent. Can be done. According to experiments, when a 2-watt ultraviolet lamp is turned on and the fan is stopped, the temperature of the adsorbent is about 10°C higher than the surrounding temperature (so, when the fan is stopped and the light source is turned on, the adsorbent is heated). It has a warming effect, and the heat can drive out odor components.Increasing the output of the light source increases the temperature rise of the adsorbent, which is more effective.The structure of the adsorbent with a photocatalyst installed near the light source is In addition to the honeycomb shape, structures that thicken the surface of the adsorbent include a sponge shape, a wire mesh shape using fibrous activated carbon as shown in Figure 10, a concentric circle shape as shown in Figure 11, and a concentric shape as shown in Figure 12. A cylindrical or rectangular thick plate with ventilation holes as shown in Fig. 13.A photocatalyst-attached adsorbent with concentric squares as shown in Fig. 13 can be used.

4-ki-1-sho gong tomb - ≠ By adding a photocatalyst to the inner surface or kneading the photocatalyst into the adsorbent and providing an excitation source near it to excite the photocatalyst, the adsorption speed of the adsorbent can be increased. In addition to increasing the speed of deodorization, the odor components adsorbed on the adsorbent can be continuously or intermittently oxidized and decomposed, which has the effect of continuing the adsorption properties of the adsorbent, and it is possible to provide a maintenance-free deodorizing device. By kneading single or composite metal oxides such as titanium oxide, tungsten oxide, and zinc oxide into the adsorbent, the components adsorbed on the adsorbent are decomposed by sunlight or visible light due to the photocatalytic action of the metal oxide. Therefore, deodorization is carried out by the adsorption action of the adsorbent, and the adsorbent can be periodically refreshed by exposing the adsorbent with metal oxides to sunlight or visible light, and this This has the great effect of allowing the adsorbent to be used repeatedly, which was previously not possible.In addition, the honeycomb structure of the adsorbent increases the surface area of the adsorbent, allowing it to adsorb odor components more quickly, resulting in faster deodorization. In addition, by adding a photocatalyst with a particle size sufficiently larger than the adsorption pores of the adsorbent to the surface of the adsorbent, deodorization and decomposition of odors can be performed without interfering with the adsorption performance of the adsorbent.

This phenomenon can be compared to the phenomenon in which when large grains of gravel are placed on top of sand and water is poured over it, the water is absorbed by the sand.
The adsorption phenomenon can be easily explained if water at this time is considered to be an odor component. To regenerate the adsorbent, the gravel on top of the sand is loosened, and the moisture is turned into steam by the heat of the gravel and evaporated. The steam at this time is thought to be the result of oxidation and decomposition of odor components released from the adsorbent, and the odor components can be collected and deodorized efficiently. The regeneration effect is great because it is carried out by the action of the photocatalyst that has been kneaded in. By placing the light source that excites the photocatalyst in contact with the adsorbent, there is a secondary effect of warming the adsorbent with the heat of the light source.
Warming the adsorbent makes it easier to release the adsorbed odor components from the adsorbent, which has the effect of increasing the regeneration speed.
