Technical Field

Background
The rapid development of industrialization and urbanization in China brings better living conditions for the majority of people, and simultaneously, the sources and the types of air pollution become very complicated. In daily life, the problem of diversification of organic pollutants is faced, and the harm of solid particulate pollutants such as PM 2.5 and the like to the health of people is also faced.
At present, the main methods for treating solid particulate pollutants include a mechanical filtration method, an anion adsorption method and an electrostatic adsorption method. Wherein the mechanical filtration method can achieve 99.97% interception filtration efficiency on particles with particle size of more than 0.3 micron by using a high-efficiency air particulate filter (HEPA filter screen). For organic pollutants, the main processes currently used for treatment include high-temperature catalytic oxidation, activated carbon adsorption, microbial adsorption degradation and photocatalytic decomposition purification. Wherein the high-temperature catalytic oxidation technology, the activated carbon adsorption technology and the microbial adsorption degradation technology respectively have one or more problems of high-temperature condition requirement, high regeneration investment, poor material selectivity and treatment effect and the like.
Photocatalytic decomposition techniques, particularly of titanium dioxide (TiO)2) The photocatalytic decomposition and purification technology has the following technical characteristics: (1) thoroughness: the organic pollutants are efficiently and completely oxidized into carbon dioxide and water, and secondary pollution is not left; (2) low-temperature deep reaction: the oxidation reaction can be carried out at room temperature; (3) broad spectrum property: effective against a wide variety of organic species ranging from hydrocarbons to carboxylic acids; (4) durability: TiO 22The lifetime of the photocatalyst is infinite. General TiO2The photocatalytic air cleaner uses a catalyst carrier having a square shape and/or a flat shape, so that there are problems in that the light source receiving is not uniform, the photocatalytic reaction area is limited, and the air flow passes through the air flow non-uniformly. Meanwhile, in order to allow the light source to cover all the catalyst carriers, a plurality of light sources are generally used, from whichTo produce TiO2High energy consumption of the photocatalytic air purifier.
At present, few existing air purification devices simultaneously use a photocatalytic decomposition purification technology and a mechanical filtration method to respectively treat organic and solid particulate pollutants. Therefore, it is of interest to design a photocatalytic air purifier that is efficient, low energy consuming and capable of both purifying organic pollutants and filtering solid particulate pollutants.
