[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a planter that has an air purification function, and more specifically, it is a planter that can be used to plant plants such as ornamental plants that can purify indoor air through the action of microorganisms. The present invention relates to a bioplanter suitable for interior decoration. [Prior Art] In recent years, adsorbents such as activated carbon have been used to remove odors such as cigarette odors, cooking odors, heating equipment exhaust gas odors, and rotting odors caused by bacteria in offices and homes, or indoor use has been made using electric precipitators. Air purifiers are commercially available. [Problems that the invention aims to solve] However, when conventional indoor air purifiers use adsorbents such as activated carbon, it is necessary to replace the adsorbents periodically, which makes management complicated and increases running costs. There were also problems such as the high initial cost of equipment such as electrostatic precipitators. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive indoor air purifier. [Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problems can be solved by using a preferable method that includes an air suction means at the bottom and contains autotrophic bacteria that can decompose pollutants or unpleasant odor components in the air. This problem can be solved by a bioplanter for ornamental plants, which has the function of purifying the air and is filled with a plant support material to which aerial microorganisms are attached. [Description of Embodiments] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the bioplanter of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the bioplanter according to the present invention has a plant support material 4 ( (e.g. pumice, red stone, etc.) with a suitable support material 3 with many small holes.
It is made by filling the top. Appropriate microorganisms as described below can be contained in this plant support material 4, and ornamental plants 5 can be planted therein. When a bioplanter with such a configuration is placed on a suitable saucer 7 and the fan 2 is rotated to suck in dirty indoor air through the air intake port 1, the air passes through the inside of the planter and reaches the packed bed of plant support material 4. . In this packed bed, depending on the purpose, microorganisms that can capture and digest and decompose compounds such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, aldehydes, and trimethylamine, which are pollutants or unpleasant odor components in the air, are prepared in advance. For example, the genus Nitroso-monas,
Nitrobacter spp., Thiothrix spp., Beggiatoa spp.
Aerobic bacteria or microorganisms, including autotrophic bacteria belonging to the genus Thiobacillus and Pseudomonas, etc., are attached and acclimatized, and when air containing contaminated or unpleasant odor components is passed through this, the contamination or unpleasant odor components in the air are removed. The air is microbially removed by these bacteria or microorganisms, and is discharged from the top of the planter 6 as clean air. The aerobic bacterial flora is maintained as an ornamental plant by watering and moist air. At this time, if necessary, water can be supplied intermittently using a dripper set on a timer. As explained above, the bioplanter according to the present invention allows aerobic bacteria, including autotrophic bacteria, to adhere to and acclimate to the plant support, thereby allowing ornamental plants to be enjoyed indoors and at the same time indoors. Since it can purify the air in the air, it can be suitably used as interior equipment. Example: In a reception room of approximately 10 tatami area (volume approximately 40 cm 3 ), the upper diameter is approximately
A planter shaped like the one shown in Figure 1 with a diameter of 300 mm, a lower diameter of about 200 mm, and a height of about 400 mm is filled with pumice stones of an average size of 10 mm to a height of about 200 mm, and microorganisms such as Nitrosomonas genus, Nitrobacter genus,
Bacteria such as tiobacillus and Pseudomonas were attached, and pothos was planted as a plant. When the bioplanter with the microorganisms attached and acclimatized in this way was operated continuously by rotating a fan to suck in air of about 0.25 cm 3 /mm, the odor concentration and composition of the components contained in the bioplanter and outlet air were as follows. It changed as follows. 【table】
