[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a honeycomb deodorizing material used for purifying air, particularly for removing a bad odor at home or in a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, purification of air by solid materials,
As a method for removing malodor, physical deodorization: a method of reversibly physically adsorbing malodorous molecules to the fine structure of a porous material such as an inorganic deodorant (zeolite, silica, alumina) or activated carbon, chemical deodorization: solid Acid-base reaction with malodorous molecule, addition reaction, polymerization reaction, by introducing a functional group that causes a chemical reaction such as ionic bond on the surface, a method of irreversibly reacting with malodorous molecule in the air to remove it, ozone Deodorizing catalyst ... After adsorbing malodorous molecules on the active sites on the catalyst surface,
A method of passing ozone over the surface, decomposing ozone at active points, and oxidatively decomposing malodorous molecules by utilizing the oxidizing property of ozone, combustion oxidation catalyst .... Heat to 200-400 ° C,
Various methods such as a method of utilizing oxygen in the air to cause a catalytic reaction accompanied by oxidative decomposition have been proposed. As the shape of these solid materials, powder and granular deodorizing materials have been conventionally used in the form of moving beds and fixed beds. Further, in recent years, a device for reducing the pressure loss of air has been devised by using a deodorizing material formed in a honeycomb shape. This honeycomb-shaped compact has less pressure loss than the conventional powder or granular deodorant material used in the form of moving bed or fixed bed, and is excellent in handling during assembly and replacement. (For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-126856)
(See Japanese Patent Publication).

[0003]

However, the conventional honeycomb molded body has the advantages of low pressure loss and excellent handling, but on the other hand, the contact efficiency between air and the surface of the honeycomb molded body is low. It is lower than conventional powder and granular deodorizing materials, and there is a problem that the efficiency of removing malodor decreases. Moreover, the processing capacity of the ordinary honeycomb-shaped molded body is extremely reduced when it exceeds a certain space velocity SV [= processing air volume (L / hr) / honeycomb capacity (L)], so that deodorization of a local space where a bad odor occurs But there was a disadvantage.
In addition, the conventional honeycomb-shaped molded body has a narrow deodorizing range due to restrictions in terms of composition. For example, even if the alkaline malodor has a deodorizing effect, the acidic malodor does not exhibit the deodorizing effect.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its object is to achieve good deodorizing performance by providing good contact efficiency with air and covering a wide deodorizing range against various malodors. In order to provide a high-performance honeycomb deodorizing material, which can further improve the performance, improve the performance against complex odors and prevent re-emission of malodors, and can also be optimally used for deodorizing local spaces where malodors occur. is there.

[0005]

In order to solve the above conventional problems, the present invention provides a honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 having a cell space 2a and a honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 which is filled in the cell space 2a. A deodorizing material 3 made of a material different from the deodorizing base material 2 is provided, and the constituent material of the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 is inorganic.
Made from the system deodorizer, configuration material of the deodorizing material 3, organic-based deodorizer, characterized activated carbon material, an ozone deodorizing catalyst, in that it consists of one or two or more kinds selected from burning oxidation catalyst.

[0006]

The deodorizing material 3 preferably has a shape of one kind or a combination of two or more kinds selected from powdery, granular and fibrous shapes.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the honeycomb deodorizing material 1 is placed in the cell space 2a of the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 in the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2.
The deodorizing material 3 is made of a material different from the above material, and whether the constituent material of the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 is an inorganic deodorizing material.
Rannahli, configuration material of the deodorizing material 3, organic-based deodorizer, activated carbon materials, the ozone deodorizing catalyst, consisting of one or a combination of two or more selected from burning oxidation catalyst.

Here, as the inorganic deodorant, a material in which zinc oxide is mixed in cordierite composition and burned and then zinc chloride is added, a material based on alumina-silica, or a porous inorganic material such as zeolite is used. Examples include deodorant materials of the system. Examples of the organic deodorant include various plant extracts and organic deodorants obtained by impregnating and adhering a solid substance with an organic compound effective for deodorization. Further, examples of the activated carbon material include activated carbon including fibrous activated carbon.

In this way, by filling the cell space 2a of the low pressure loss type honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 with the deodorizing material 3 made of a material different from that of the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2, air and the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2, The contact efficiency with the deodorizing material 3 is improved, and the deodorizing performance can be improved. Moreover, even if the space velocity exceeds a certain value, the contact efficiency does not extremely decrease, and it can be conveniently used for deodorizing the local space where a bad odor is generated. Furthermore, since the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 and the deodorizing material 3 are made of different materials, a wide deodorizing range can be covered against various kinds of bad odors, and the deodorizing performance can be further improved. It is possible to prevent the re-emission of a bad smell.

[0011] In addition, as the ozone deodorizing catalyst, MnO2
, TiO2, metal oxides such as Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, and C, noble metals, carbon, and the like, and any ozone deodorizing catalyst having catalytic activity may be used. Examples of the combustion oxidation catalyst include noble metals such as Pt, Pd, Ag, Au and the like, and any combustion oxidation catalyst having catalytic activity may be used, and it is particularly desirable that the oxidation activation temperature is low. The inorganic deodorant, the organic deodorant, and the activated carbon material are the same as those described above. As described above, by combining with the ozone deodorizing catalyst or with the combustion oxidizing catalyst, it becomes possible to provide a honeycomb deodorizing material with higher performance.

In Table 1, the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 and the deodorizing material 3 are made of different materials. For example, when the honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 is an inorganic deodorizing material, the deodorizing material is an inorganic deodorizing material. Materials other than the deodorizing material (for example, organic deodorizing material, activated carbon material, ozone deodorizing catalyst, combustion oxidation catalyst) are selected.
In this way, by combining different kinds of materials, a wide deodorizing range can be covered for various malodors, and the deodorizing effect for each malodor is improved.

The shape of the deodorizing material 3 is preferably one or a combination of two or more selected from powdery, granular and fibrous shapes. Each of the powder, granular, and fibrous shapes has a large surface area, and by filling the cell space 2a of the low-pressure loss type honeycomb deodorizing base material 2 with the deodorizing material 3 having these shapes, the contact efficiency with air can be further improved. Can be improved.
