PURPOSE:To improve the long range durability of deodorizing capacity by constituting a deodorizer by providing the adsorbent for odor components, the oxidizing catalyst to oxidize and decompose odor components by heating, and the heating means to heat the adsorbent and the oxidizing catalyst at a specified temp. CONSTITUTION:The oxidizing catalyst 21 is provided in such a way that it sandwiches the adsorbent 22, and the electric heating wire of a heater 23 is provided as the heating means to constitute a deodorizing device 2. In this device, the adsorbent 22 is heated after the oxidizing catalyst 21 is heated to be activated so that the desorption of odor components from the adsorbent 22 is always carried out after the oxidizing catalyst 21 is activated. By this method, the odor components are decomposed to be deodorized without omission. When the odor gas is gaseous acetaldehyde, alumina honeycombs supporting cobalt oxide are used for the oxidizing catalyst 21. For the adsorbent 22, the activated carbon, etc., formed in honeycomb shape is used.

[Operation] The deodorizing device of the present invention includes an oxidation catalyst that is activated by heat,
It is a combination of an adsorbent that adsorbs odor components, an oxidation catalyst, and a heating means that heats the adsorbent.In normal deodorizing operation, the adsorbent section is ventilated without heating, and the odor components are removed by adsorption. Remove and deodorize. After use for a certain period of time, the ventilation is stopped to clean and regenerate the adsorbent, and the adsorbent and oxidation catalyst are heated by the heating means for a certain period of time. This heating reduces the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, so that part or all (depending on the heat treatment conditions) of the odor components already adsorbed on the adsorbent are gradually released from the adsorbent as the temperature rises. The released odor components are oxidized and decomposed by the oxidation action of the oxidation catalyst activated by heating and removed.

Furthermore, if the adsorbent is heated during ventilation operation, the adsorbent will not adsorb since the amount of adsorption and retention has decreased, and the oxidation catalyst will directly oxidize and decompose the odor components.

Next, cleaning of the adsorbent will be further explained in detail with reference to FIG. The relationship between the adsorption amount of the adsorbent and the temperature is as shown in the graph of FIG. 3, where the adsorption and retention amount is large at low temperatures and decreases as the temperature increases. When the adsorbent is ventilated to adsorb odor components and then heated to desorb and release the odor components for cleaning, the adsorption retention amount a at temperature A during adsorption will be reduced from the adsorption amount a at temperature B during cleaning by heating.

When activated carbon is used as the adsorbent 22, activated carbon has a weak adsorption power for carbon dioxide gas and water, so it is unlikely that the products oxidized by the oxidation catalyst 21 will be adsorbed again. Moreover, since the product is odorless, there is no problem even if it is released to the outside. Heat the adsorbent 22

[Scope of Claims] 1. In a deodorizing device that removes odor components from the air through an adsorbent, an adsorbent that adsorbs odor components and an adsorbent that is activated by heating to oxidize the odor components are placed on the surface or near the adsorbent. A deodorizing device comprising an oxidation catalyst to be decomposed, and heating means to heat the adsorbent and oxidation catalyst to a predetermined temperature. 2. The adsorbent is sandwiched between at least one pair of oxidation catalyst layers, and a heater is installed adjacent to the outside thereof,
2. The deodorizing device according to claim 1, wherein the deodorizing device is arranged in series so that the ventilation order is the heating heater, the oxidation catalyst layer, the adsorbent, the oxidation catalyst layer, and the heating heater. 3. The deodorizing device according to claim 1, wherein the surface of the adsorbent is coated with an oxidation catalyst layer. 4. Gas detection means for detecting odor components on the air outlet side of the deodorizing device, the deodorizing device according to claim 1, 2 or 3 being disposed between the air inlet and the outlet; An air cleaning device comprising: on-off control means for driving the heating means of the deodorizing device for a predetermined period of time based on the detection output of the gas detection means. 5. The air purifying device according to claim 4, wherein a timer is provided in place of the gas detection means, and an on-off control means for driving the heating means at predetermined time intervals based on the output of the timer.
