Abstract: A method for manufacturing a honeycomb deodorizing filter including ceramic fibrous paper supporting cuprous oxide or both cuprous oxide and solid acid includes the steps of: soaking ceramic fibrous paper in a slurry; drying the soaked paper; and forming the dried paper into a honeycomb filter. The slurry includes a mixture of a reductant-added water solution with either (i) the cuprous oxide and binder, or (ii) cuprous oxide, solid acid and binder. Alternately, the fibrous paper and binder may first be formed into a honeycomb filter and then soaked in the slurry.

Abstract: A deodorizing filter which is composed of a honeycomb structure of ceramic fibrous paper supporting cuprous oxide or both cuprous oxide and solid acid; and a method for manufacturing the deodorizing filter wherein the ceramic fibrous paper is soaked in the slurry of the mixture of reductant-added water solution with the cuprous oxide and binder or with the cuprous oxide, solid acid and binder and is dried; and then the ceremic fibrous paper is formed into the honeycomb-type filter; or the ceramic fibrous paper with the binder added is formed first into the honeycomb-type filter and then is soaked in the slurry of the mixture of reductant-added water solution with the cuprous oxide and binder or with the cuprous oxide, solid acid and binder and finally is dried to make the deodorizing filter.

Abstract: A coating composition for use in a hydrophilic treatment comprising (A) an organic-inorganic composite reaction product prepared by a process which comprises reacting 100 parts by weight, as the solid content, of (i) a water-dispersible silica with 0.
