and (3) dispersing sodium carbonate, sodium chlorite and sulfate in water, and then mixing with water absorption resin to obtain the gel.
Furthermore, the mass ratio of the sodium carbonate to the sodium chlorite to the sulfate to the water-absorbing resin is 1: 10: 1: 72: 8.
furthermore, the mass ratio of the sodium carbonate to the sodium chlorite to the sulfate to the water-absorbing resin is 1: 12: 1: 72: 10.
further, the raw material of the gel further includes an indicator for indicating the reaction speed and the degree of utilization of the raw material.
Further, sodium carbonate, sodium chlorite and sulfate are dispersed in water, indicator is dripped, and the mixture is mixed with water-absorbent resin to obtain the gel.
Further, the indicator is a bromothymol blue indicator or an alpha-naphthol phthalein indicator.
Further, the preparation process of the auxiliary material bag comprises the following steps:
and (3) uniformly mixing calcium chloride, calcium oxide, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium bicarbonate, and hermetically packaging to obtain the auxiliary material bag.
Further, when the purifying agent is used, the auxiliary material bag is unsealed, the content of the auxiliary material bag is poured out to cover the gel, and the gel slowly releases chlorine dioxide.
Chlorine dioxide can oxidize formaldehyde into formic acid to CO2The formaldehyde is removed, and according to the principle, the invention develops the chlorine dioxide capable of continuously releasing a small amount of chlorine dioxide for a long time based on sodium chloriteAn air purifier for gases. Chlorine dioxide generated by the decomposition of sodium chlorite can oxidize and degrade formaldehyde, viruses and other organic pollutants in the air.
When the purifying agent is used, the auxiliary material bag is unsealed, the content of the auxiliary material bag is poured out and covered on the gel, the two materials react to release chlorine dioxide, and the release process is limited by the barrier effect of the gel formed by the water-absorbing resin, so that the chlorine dioxide can be slowly released from the gel. To indicate the reaction rate and the degree of raw material utilization, an indicator was added at the time of preparing the gel.
In the raw material components, sodium chlorite is decomposed to generate chlorine dioxide, which is a main provider of an oxidant; sodium carbonate and sulfate are used for protecting sodium chlorite from decomposition in the transportation and storage processes; the sodium dihydrogen phosphate and the sodium bicarbonate release hydrogen ions when meeting water to promote the decomposition of sodium chlorite to generate chlorine dioxide; the calcium chloride and the calcium oxide are mainly used for absorbing moisture in air, and the calcium chloride and the calcium oxide release heat while absorbing the moisture, so that the release of hydrogen ions of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium bicarbonate is accelerated, the decomposition reaction of sodium chlorite is accelerated, and chlorine dioxide is generated.
The present invention sets a certain range for the addition amount of sodium chlorite and water-absorbent resin. If the addition amount of sodium chlorite is too low, the generation amount of chlorine dioxide is low, and the effective action maintaining time of the purifying agent is short; if the addition amount of sodium chlorite is too high, the concentration of chlorine dioxide is high, and the stimulation effect on human bodies can be generated. If the addition amount of the water-absorbing resin is too low, the gel amount is insufficient, and the sustained-release duration is short; if the addition amount of the water-absorbent resin is too high, the slow release rate is slow, and the purification effect is poor.

the prepared accessory bag is covered on the gel and placed in a sealed container, an open bottle containing the same weight of moisture is placed in the sealed container, the released chlorine dioxide gas is collected by using a liquid-sealed gas absorber, and then the rate of the purifying agent releasing chlorine dioxide is measured by an iodometric method.
