(Prior Art) Ozone is an irritating and toxic gas, and its generation in the atmosphere is not desirable from the standpoint of environmental health. This ozone is produced by corona discharge from high-voltage electrical products, ultraviolet rays,
Radiation such as rays and cathode rays is generated by reacting with oxygen molecules. In an electrostatic copying machine, a large amount of ozone is generated from oxygen molecules in the air due to corona discharge during the copying process, and this is exhausted outside the machine from an exhaust port installed inside the copying machine. It pollutes the air in the room where the copy machine is located. Therefore, equipment and devices that generate ozone, such as electrostatic copying machines, must be equipped with a filter or the like to decompose the ozone generated therein into its original oxygen molecules as much as possible. As filters for decomposing and removing ozone, there are known filters based on activated carbon, filters coated with a metal oxide catalyst on the surface of a porous body, and filters based on reducing substances. For example, German Patent Application No.
No. 3217299 describes a 50wt product obtained by crushing activated carbon fibers, adding starch to the slurry, heating and cooling it, immersing it in urethane foam, and drying it.
% activated carbon is disclosed.
JP-A-57-50527 and JP-A-54-59364 disclose filters obtained by coating the surface of activated carbon with manganese oxide and copper oxide, or by coating the surface with a metal chelate compound. ing. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-30533 is
In US Pat. No. 4,200,607, a heat-resistant and lightweight porous film is coated with MnO 2 , CeO 2 and A filter coated with Cr 2 O 3 is disclosed. Also, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 115622/1983, US Patent Specification No. 4261963, US Patent Specification No.
No. 4184983 discloses a filter in which an alumina catalyst bed is coated with silver, a filter in which ZnO 2 is coated with MnO 2 , and a filter in which an inorganic carrier is coated with a Group 8 metal or metal oxide. Additionally, German Patent Publication No. 3029948
issue proposes the use of platinum for ozone decomposition.

Among the ozone decomposition filters, activated carbon and activated carbon fibers have the disadvantage that their active surfaces tend to be lost in a relatively short period of time due to adsorption of dust particles in the air or adsorption due to scattering of machine oil. Furthermore, as a result of the reaction with ozone, its own temperature rises and its adsorption capacity decreases, which is a fatal drawback as an ozone decomposition catalyst.

In the above ozone decomposition filter in which a porous body is coated with a metal oxide catalyst, the coating process is technically complex. Moreover, since the porous body has a large ventilation resistance, even if the surface of the porous body could be ideally coated with a metal oxide catalyst, the inner surface of the porous body could hardly be utilized.

In addition, in the above ozone decomposition filter made of a reducing substance such as platinum, in order to efficiently decompose and remove ozone over a long period of time, a large amount of reducing substance must be used, making it expensive and requiring a compact filter. It is impossible and impractical to produce.

(Object of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a filter that can stably and efficiently decompose and remove ozone over a long period of time. Another object of the present invention is to provide an ozone decomposition filter that can be manufactured easily and inexpensively. Still another object of the present invention is to provide an ozone decomposition filter with low ventilation resistance.

(Structure of the Invention) The ozone decomposition filter of the present invention has a metal alloy consisting of a component that is relatively hard to be attacked by ozone and a component that is relatively easy to be attacked by ozone, thereby achieving the above object.

The components that are relatively less susceptible to ozone are:

The content ratio of these components constituting the metal alloy is not particularly limited, and is appropriately set depending on the installation location of the filter. The metal alloy is preferably formed into a fibrous or mesh shape to form the filter in order to increase the contact area with ozone. As the metal alloy consisting of both of the above components, for example, brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, is preferable.

It is also possible to use a metal alone that easily reacts with ozone, but in that case, metal oxides are produced by oxidation, and as a result, the metal form (fibrous, network) quickly disappears. Under such conditions, it cannot function as an ozone decomposition filter. In the fibrous or mesh filter of the present invention, which is made of an alloy of a metal that is relatively hard to be attacked by ozone and a metal that is relatively easy to be attacked by ozone, the metal that is relatively easily attacked by ozone is naturally attacked first. However, as a result of the metal oxide being retained by a metal that is not easily attacked by ozone, its ozone decomposition can be sustained for a longer period of time than in the case of a metal that is easily attacked by ozone alone. Moreover,
It is thought that even after the metals that are relatively easily attacked by ozone are removed, the metals that are relatively not easily attacked by ozone form a complex surface shape, and as a result, they function effectively as ozone decomposition catalysts. It will be done.
