Description

Vertical Photocatalytic Air Purifier

Technical field:

The utility model belongs to the technical field of air purifiers, in particular to the technical field of manufacturing a multifunctional air purifier.

Background technique:

The source of indoor air pollution includes dust, fiber, odor, odor, bacteria, virus and other substances, but the harm to human health mainly lies in the indoor suspended inhalable particles. This is because bacteria, spirochetes, viruses and other microorganisms that cause damage to human health, although their size is only between 0.01 and 10 microns, they cannot exist alone in the air and often adsorb on the surface of particles several times larger than them. Traditional air purifiers use air blowers to pass air through porous filter materials (materials such as non-woven fabrics, filter paper, fiber or foam filter materials), thereby separating pollutants from the air to achieve the purpose of purification, or through corona The discharge makes the pollutants in the air charged, and the dust collection device is used to capture the charged particles to purify the air. However, purifiers with single or comprehensive functions such as physical filtration, adsorption, and electrostatic coagulation to remove dust on the market are effective to a certain extent, but they only transfer pollutants and cannot treat odors, pathogenic bacteria, Pollution caused by viruses, microorganisms, etc. is fundamentally eliminated.

At present, the second generation of air purifiers has entered the market in the first three years. It is an air purifier with ozone and negative ions as its main functions. Ozone has the functions of disinfection, sterilization, deodorization, deodorization and depigmentation. Therefore, the combination of ozone and negative ion smoke and dust removal and other advanced physical filtration or dust removal methods is an ideal air purifier today. However, when the ozone concentration reaches 0.15PPM, it will have harmful effects on the human body. Therefore, when ozone is generally used for indoor sterilization, personnel should not be active indoors.

The most advanced air purifier is a photocatalytic air purifier that integrates smoke elimination, dust removal, sterilization and detoxification, deodorization and deodorization, and decomposition of organic pollutants. This type of air purifier is different from the first generation of physical air purifiers and the second generation of ozone and negative ion air purifiers. Its purification structure is sterilizing light and deodorizing sterilizing filter, which has the functions of sterilization, disinfection, deodorization and dust removal. Hydroxyl radical ion is a chemical substance that directly sterilizes and disinfects. It directly decomposes organic matter and first destroys the cell membrane of bacteria. , and then decompose the organic matter in the bacteria, and directly coagulate the protein of the virus, and the final products are CO ₂ and H ₂ O. Compared with ordinary photocatalytic products, the advantage of nanophotocatalysis is that it can achieve self-regeneration, and the reduction rate is greatly improved, while the hydroxyl radical ion itself is non-toxic, does not decompose, does not overflow, and does not produce toxins. After testing, this technology can effectively kill nearly ten kinds of common germs, and is effective against tuberculosis virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B virus and SARS virus. Photocatalysis is a high-tech product that has the function of decomposing organic pollutants. Photocatalysis is coupled with plasma dust removal, so that a small amount of ozone generated by plasma dust removal enters the photocatalytic reaction device, which accelerates the electrons generated on the surface of the catalyst under the action of light excitation. The separation of hole pairs improves the efficiency of the purifier in decomposing organic pollutants, sterilizing and deodorizing, etc. In this way, combined with some physical methods of dust removal and smoke removal, it becomes an all-round and multi-functional air purifier.

The basic principle of photocatalytic air purification is based on semiconductor theory. TiO ₂ is an N-type semiconductor material with a band gap energy of 3.2ev, which is equivalent to light with a wavelength of 380nm. When ultraviolet light with a wavelength less than 380nm irradiates the surface of TiO ₂ , photoinduced electrons (e _CB ^- ) and holes (h _VR ⁺ ) will be generated on the surface of TiO ₂ . Electrons and holes can migrate to the solid surface to interact with dissolved oxygen and adsorbed water on the surface to generate highly active free radicals, ·OH, ·O ₂ ^- , as shown in Figure 1, ·OH has a strong Oxidation ability, its reaction energy is 120kcal/mol, which is higher than various chemical bonds, such as CC (83kcal/mol), CH (99kcal/mol), CN (73kcal/mol), CO (84kcal/mol), HO (111kcal/mol) mol), NH (93kcal/mol), so it can completely decompose various organic substances, and finally generate CO ₂ and H ₂ O, so as to kill bacteria and viruses and eliminate indoor pollution.

The application of photocatalytic technology to indoor air purification is an innovation in air purification technology in recent years. Most of the currently published patents are small desktop photocatalytic air purifiers, which deal with a small amount of air and have limited pollutant treatment efficiency. Patent 01276442.6 discloses a vertical nano-photocatalytic electrostatic air purifier, which integrates high-voltage electrostatic dust removal technology and photocatalytic technology to achieve air purification. The structural design of the purifier has the following problems: (1) The air-passing area of pollutants is small under the same volume of the purifier; (2) The high-voltage electrostatic precipitator will generate ozone, which is harmful to the human body; (3) The structure of the photocatalytic chamber Complicated; (4) There is no active carbon filter layer, and the untreated gas after the electrostatic-photocatalytic layer cannot be eliminated at one time. In addition, since the photocatalytic reaction is a wall reaction, whether the pollutants can fully contact the catalyst surface and whether the photons emitted by the light source can be fully utilized will directly affect the photocatalytic purification efficiency, and these are related to the structural design of the purifier. direct cause and effect.
