ABSTRACT

The paper aims to create a design logical on gas removal material application for deodorization functions. Since the gas removal material varies by different type and different mechanism. Such as active carbon, silicon ball, photocatalyst and so on. Then we designed the performance test according to existing JEM standard, which is to evaluate air purifier performance on odor removal. Through the prototype design to add different purification materials one by one and test its performance to get the conclusion. Which is the active carbon materials have better removal efficiency of polar substance pollutants (formaldehyde and acetic acid), but the capability for non-polar VOCs removal (Ammonia) is weak. So compound active carbon materials maybe is a better choice for IAQ purification research to purify kinds of gas pollutant molecules.
