Abstract

PURPOSE: To filter and collect coarse particles and to absorb and collect odorous component fine particles alltogether and to use a filter for a long term by impregnating a plastic fiber filter with fullerene. CONSTITUTION: A plastic fiber filter 2 is impregnated with fullerene 5. In this way, coarse particles are collected by filter action of the plastic fiber filter 2 as a matter of curse. When an air current is passed at high speed between plastic fibers 4, the plastic surface is positively changed and fine particles such as odorous components are negatively changed. At this time, the fine particles are attracted to the plastic fibers 4 by electrostatic force and collected. When air 1 is passed while irradiating light 3 onto the fullerene 5 of the plastic, the odorous material is decomposed and oxidized by catalytic action of the fullerene 5 and is transfered to a stabilizer and becomes odorless to improve comfortableness.

The above embodiment is intended to remove both coarse particles such as dust and fine particles such as odorous components in the air. The coarse particles are naturally collected by the filtering action of the plastic fiber filter. Fine particles such as odorous components are also collected by the plastic fiber filter, but the effect is that when the airflow passes between the plastic fibers at high speed,
The plastic surface is positively charged, and the fine particles are negatively charged, and at this time, the fine particles are attracted to and collected by the plastic fibers by electrostatic force. As described above, both the coarse particles and the fine particles are collected by the plastic fiber filter. At this time, the collection efficiency is low, but the collection amount is secured by the increase in the number of circulations, and the cleaning function is exhibited.

Further, when air is passed through the plastic fullerene while irradiating with light, the odorous substance decomposes and oxidizes due to the catalytic action of the fullerene, moves to the stabilizing side, becomes odorless, and improves comfort . It should be noted that although the reaction rate is low for each component, it is possible to provide a function that is sufficiently satisfied as the reaction amount by increasing the number of circulations.
