Abstract
A novel air-cleaner with a coil-shape photocatalysis-plasma synergistic reactor was developed. The air-cleaner showed 95% ± 1% reduction of a TVOCs concentration in tobacco smoke at “single-pass” condition. Air-purification activity of the air-cleaner was stably-maintained after the treatment of 12,000 cigarettes of tobacco smoke.
Highlights
We have proposed an effective method for the separation of smoking area by using “sandwich-shape” photocatalysis-plasma synergistic reactors [1]
In order to remove the by-products on the electrodes, air-cleaner operates for 15 min without burning cigarettes after every 200 cigarettes of tobacco smoke treatment
Total suspended particulates (TSPs), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) concentrations were calculated after the treatments of 8, 6000 and 12,000 cigarettes of tobacco smoke at the sampling points 1 and 2 in Figure 2 as follows
Summary
We have proposed an effective method for the separation of smoking area by using “sandwich-shape” photocatalysis-plasma synergistic reactors [1]. How to cite this paper: Ochiai, T., et al (2014) Development of a Coil-Shape Photocatalysis-Plasma Synergistic Reactor for a Practical and Long-Term Usable Air-Cleaner. Synergistic effects of photocatalysis and plasma excitation achieve the significant oxidative decomposition of gaseous compounds in tobacco smoke. Based on this result, we have fabricated the “coil-shape” PACT-TMiP reactor to reduce electrostatic capacity, pressure drop, and noise level for a long-term usability. A practical air-cleaner using the reactor was fabricated and installed in a real-scale smoking room. The air-purification ability and the long-term usability of the air-cleaner in the smoking room were confirmed
