Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a filter for an air conditioner having a semipermanental antifungal property and deodorizing property by utilizing a photocatalytic function of TiO2 . SOLUTION: A stainless steel sheet containing 0.1-0.6% Ti is used as a base stock and a TiO2 concentrated surface layer is provided on a surface. Moreover, the stainless steel sheet containing 0.3-0.7% Cu and/or 0.4-3.0% Mo may be used. The TiO2 concentrated surface layer is formed by a bright annealing in which the material is heated at 850-1000 deg.C in a H2 gas atmosphere having -40 to -65 deg.C dew-point or a H2 -N2 mixed gas atmosphere containing >=90vol% H2 . After subjecting to the bright annealing, the sheet may be subjected to dip treatment with a mixed acid soln. containing 0.5-5% hydrofluoric acid and 5-20% nitric acid to precipitate the Cu having the antifungal property. In this way, the filter hardly causing a generation of fungi and malodor over a long period of time is obtained. Moreover, an antifungal function is supplemented with a precipitated Cu even if photoirradiation is low when the stainless steel base stock containing the Cu is used.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Among metals and oxides showing antibacterial properties, Ti
O 2 is known to exhibit a photocatalytic action that converts oxygen into active oxygen when it is irradiated with light from sunlight, fluorescent lamps, mercury lamps, etc., decomposes enzymes contained in pathogenic bacteria, and kills bacteria. Focusing on this action of TiO 2, the use of TiO 2 has been studied in food processing plants and the like. TiO 2
The antibacterial action utilizing the is first expressed when exposed to light, but unlike other antibacterial agents, the antibacterial action is semipermanently maintained. The present inventors have focused their attention on TiO 2 that exhibits a decomposition function of sulfur compounds, nitrogen compounds, etc., which are sources of sterilization and malodor, and have investigated in detail the method of forming TiO 2 in the surface coating of stainless steel. . As a result, as proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 7-21291, it was found that an effective TiO 2 -containing film is formed when the final annealing is bright annealing using Ti-containing stainless steel as a raw material. In addition, the composition of the annealing atmosphere and the annealing temperature are controlled, and further, after the annealing, the surface is coated with TiO 2 in the hydrofluoric acid-nitric acid mixed solution.
2 can be concentrated, and the bactericidal action and odor decomposition function of TiO 2 can be utilized without impairing the corrosion resistance.

When using stainless steel having a surface film in which TiO 2 is concentrated by bright annealing as a filter for an air conditioner, since the filter is processed into a mesh shape, the stainless steel material used has antibacterial properties, It is required to have good surface properties in addition to the bad odor resolution. In this regard,
It is important to avoid the occurrence of cluster-like inclusions that cause surface defects as much as possible, and in this sense, the upper limit of the Ti content is set to 0.6% by weight. The filter of the air conditioner may be provided on the outer wall. Therefore, stainless steel materials may exhibit excellent pitting corrosion resistance, including red rust caused by flying sea salt particles in the coastal area, and even stain-like rust that easily occurs when the water droplets are condensed even when placed indoors. Needed. Therefore, Mo, which is effective in promoting regeneration of the passive film and improving pitting corrosion resistance, is added in a range of 0.4 to 3.0% by weight as required.

In order to realize the function of TiO 2 as a photocatalyst, it is necessary to irradiate sunlight, fluorescent lamps, ultraviolet rays and the like. In the case of a normal air conditioner filter, the outer surface may be covered with plastics or a metal grid, but the cover material is made of transparent resin, or the exposure ratio of the filter is increased to protect the filter from sunlight, fluorescent lamps, etc. Promotes the incidence of light. Also, a method of installing a small fluorescent lamp of, for example, about 5 W in the device or the duct can be adopted. As a result, TiO 2 is reactivated, and excellent bactericidal action and bad odor resolution are maintained. In an air conditioner filter that uses sunlight or the like, the antibacterial action may be affected by the amount of solar radiation on that day. In such a case, stainless steel containing Cu in the alloy composition is used, and after light annealing, it is lightly dipped in a mixed acid solution to precipitate Cu on the surface layer, and the precipitated Cu complements the antibacterial action to reduce the amount of solar radiation. It is possible to suppress the variation of the antibacterial effect caused by it.

As can be seen from Table 2, the Ti content is 0.
With the exception of the steel type A of 04% by weight, in the other steel types B to D, 20 atomic% or more of TiO 2 was formed in the surface film by bright annealing. Looking at the pitting potential, the steel types A and B had almost the same 0.2 V vs. SCE, but the steel type C containing 2 wt% Mo had 0.65 V vs. SCE and the steel type D had 0.97.
It showed high pitting potential vs. SCE. Normally, when the air intake port is an outer wall and a filter is installed there, the natural potential of stainless steel is 0.4 ~ in the process of drying the condensed water.
Reach 0.6 vs. SCE. The pitting potentials of steel types C and D are
Since it is higher than this self-potential, it is expected that no red rust will occur even if it is used for buildings in coastal areas. From the above results, it is understood that the amount of Ti added to stainless steel is required to be 0.1% by weight or more in order to obtain a predetermined TiO 2 concentration in the film required for antibacterial properties. On the other hand, T
The upper limit of the i content is specified to be 0.6% by weight for use as a filter for an air conditioner which is required to have no surface flaw. Further, it is understood that by adding Mo with 3.0% by weight as the upper limit, excellent pitting corrosion resistance is exhibited and it is effective in preventing red rust.

Attach each filter to the existing air conditioner,
Furthermore, a 5W fluorescent lamp was installed in the air conditioner. Then, each air conditioner filter was tested for antibacterial properties by the following method. A culture solution of pathogenic Escherichia coli, which had been shake-cultured in a broth medium at 35 ° C. for 16 to 20 hours in advance, was diluted 20,000 times with a sterile phosphate buffer to prepare a bacterial solution. 1m of this bacterial solution on the surface of the air conditioner filter
Then, a fluorescent lamp attached to the inside of the air conditioner was turned on to irradiate with light, and the viable cell count after 8 hours was measured by the colony method.
Note that these experiments were performed at room temperature. As can be seen from the survey results in Table 3, the TiO 2 concentration in the film is 10 atomic%.
In the comparative examples below, there was almost no change in the viable cell count after 8 hours. On the other hand, in Examples 1 to 4 of the present invention in which the TiO 2 concentration in the film was 20 atomic% or more, the viable cell count was clearly reduced. Further, even when light of Example 4 of the present invention was not irradiated, the viable cell count was reduced, and it was confirmed that the use of Cu-added stainless steel complements the weakness of the TiO 2 film.
