Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for storing malodorous substances, and more particularly, to a container for storing malodorous substances which can always be kept clean by removing odors and harmful bacteria from perishable malodorous substances such as food waste.

In human diet, perishable waste such as food waste is inevitable. These perishable wastes are collected and stored in a collection container installed at a designated place. At this time, odors that cause discomfort and aversion are generated by stimulating the human sense of smell. These odors are irritating gaseous substances that damage human's pleasant surroundings and health. Therefore, an appropriate treatment device must be installed to ensure pleasant surroundings and health.

Currently, food wastes are put into individual food waste collection boxes installed along the road, or in the case of multi-unit housing, they are collected by food waste collection vehicles periodically after being put into food waste collection boxes installed in groups. At this time, a large amount of malodorous and harmful bacteria are generated from the unused collection bins, which pollutes the surrounding environment and causes serious health problems. Food waste collection and storage facilities may be installed at the request of the user, but there is no countermeasure against malodor and harmful bacteria generated from food waste.

Examples of treatment methods for removing odors include oxidation, adsorption, biology, decomposition, masking, and plasma decomposition.

There is a problem that can affect and the oxidant itself causes environmental pollution.

The adsorption method is a method of adsorbing and removing malodorous substances by using an adsorbent having a large specific surface area (surface area per unit mass), like activated carbon. There is a need to replace the adsorbent, thereby increasing the maintenance cost.

In addition, the plasma treatment method is to remove various volatile organic compounds, odors and toxic harmful gases by generating plasma, and has an excellent odor treatment effect, but there is a problem of excessive power consumption by using a plasma apparatus. Not only is it difficult, but the maintenance cost is very high. In addition, the conventional plasma treatment method has a problem that low odor treatment efficiency and low power consumption efficiency because the odor is removed using only the oxidative active species generated during plasma discharge.
