Energy efficient indoor VOC air cleaning with activated carbon fiber (ACF) filters

Indoor Air Chemistry: Cleaning Agents, Ozone and Toxic Air Contaminants

Activated Carbon Fiber - the Hybrid of Carbon Fiber and Activated Carbon

From application perspectives in adsorption, activated carbon fiber (ACF) is by far one of the most important carbon nanoporous materials to be considered. It has great advantages over other commercial porous storage materials. Activated carbon fiber (ACF) is a promising microporous material with a fiber shape and well-defined porous structure. In general, production of ACF can be commercially ...

Cleaning Indoor Air using AtmosAir Bi-Polar Ionization Technology

Outdoor Air Quality OAQ): The federal government has made great progress towards cleaning outdoor air since 1970 via the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its additional amendments signed into law in 1990. This Act resulted in a significant 70% reduction of aggregate emissions of six representative indicators of common pollutants between the years of 1970 to 2014! Thusly, the CAA laws define the EPA’s re...

Survival of selected bacterial species in sterilized activated carbon filters and biological activated carbon filters.

The survival of selected hygienically relevant bacterial species in activated carbon (AC) filters on a bench scale was investigated. The results revealed that after inoculation of the test strains the previously sterilized AC absorbed all bacteria (10(6) to 10(7)). After a period of 6 to 13 days without countable bacteria in the effluent, the numbers of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,...

Photocatalytic Cleaning Performance of Air Filters for a Binary Mixture

Abstract—Ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation (UV-PCO) technology has been recommended as a green approach to health indoor environment when it is integrated into mechanical ventilation systems for inorganic and organic compounds removal as well as energy saving due to less outdoor air intakes. Although much research has been devoted to UV-PCO, limited information is available on the UV-PCO beh...
