(Prior Art) Ozone is an irritating and toxic gas, and its generation in the atmosphere is not desirable from the standpoint of environmental health. This ozone is produced by corona discharge from high-voltage electrical products, ultraviolet rays,
Radiation such as rays and cathode rays is generated by reacting with oxygen molecules. In an electrostatic copying machine, a large amount of ozone is generated from oxygen molecules in the air due to corona discharge during the copying process, and this is exhausted outside the machine from an exhaust port installed inside the copying machine. It pollutes the air in the room where the copy machine is located. Therefore, equipment and devices that generate ozone, such as electrostatic copying machines, must be equipped with a filter or the like to decompose the ozone generated therein into its original oxygen molecules as much as possible. As filters for decomposing and removing ozone, there are known filters based on activated carbon, filters coated with a metal oxide catalyst on the surface of a porous body, and filters based on reducing substances. For example, German Patent Application No.

Among the ozone decomposition filters, activated carbon and activated carbon fibers have the disadvantage that their active surfaces tend to be lost in a relatively short time due to adsorption of dust particles in the air or adsorption due to scattering of machine oil. Furthermore, as a result of the reaction with ozone, its own temperature rises and its adsorption capacity decreases, which is a fatal drawback as an ozone decomposition catalyst.

In the above ozone decomposition filter in which a porous body is coated with a metal oxide catalyst, the coating process is technically complex. Moreover, since the porous body has a large ventilation resistance, even if the surface of the porous body could be ideally coated with a metal oxide catalyst, the inner surface of the porous body could hardly be utilized.

Furthermore, in the above ozone decomposition filter made of a reducing substance such as platinum, in order to efficiently decompose and remove ozone over a long period of time, a large amount of the reducing substance must be used, making it expensive and requiring a compact filter. It is impossible and impractical to produce.

Therefore, the ozone decomposition filter of the present invention has a porous body supporting a boron compound, thereby achieving the above object.

These boron compounds can be supported on the porous body by immersing the porous body in an aqueous solution of boric acid or borax, impregnating the porous body with boric acid or borax, and then drying the porous body. Since alkali has the effect of accelerating the ozone decomposition reaction, it is necessary to make the boric acid aqueous solution or borax aqueous solution alkaline and immerse the porous body in it, or to treat the porous body with an alkali before or after treating the porous body with the boron compound aqueous solution. is recommended. There are no particular restrictions on the type of porous material, its opening degree, concentration of boron compounds, particle size of powdered activated carbon, alkalinity, etc., and there are no particular restrictions on the efficiency of the filter preparation process, the installation location of the resulting filter, and the ozone to be decomposed and removed. It is set appropriately based on the amount, etc. The filter paper used as the porous body does not need to be special, and may be, for example, a quantitative or qualitative filter paper commonly used in laboratories. The porosity is appropriately selected depending on the intended use. The concentration of boron compounds is usually 0.5
It is set to 20% by weight, preferably 2 to 8% by weight. The average particle size of activated carbon is usually
It is 2 μm to 20 μm, preferably 5 μm to 15 μm.
The alkalinity should be appropriately set in consideration of the boron compound aqueous solution treatment of the porous body.
