  • Patent number: 6936094
    Abstract: Provided are an adsorption sheet and an air-purifying filter, which can have low air-flow resistance and high deodorizing performance and be resistant to clogging by dust, from which a powdered adsorbent can hardly drop off, and in which any attached agent can hardly lose its effect. Such a product can be obtained by a process including the steps of: sufficiently premixing an agent-bearing activated carbon powder and a powdered thermoplastic resin to form a mixed powder; then spreading the mixed powder on a base sheet having a certain bulkiness and bearing an agent; stacking an air-permeable sheet thereon; and hot-pressing them.

  • Patent number: 6746760
    Abstract: The gas adsorption sheet of the present invention has a granular activated carbon-containing sheet comprising a granular activated carbon having an average particle diameter of 60 to 600 &mgr;m, a supporting fiber for fixing the granular activated carbon in contact with it, and an adhesive fiber which mainly contributes to shape retention. An air-purifying filter of the present invention is obtained by forming the gas adsorption sheet into a shape of pleats or wave. A method for producing a gas adsorption sheet of the present invention comprises a step of forming a granular activated carbon-containing sheet by using an aqueous slurry containing a granular activated carbon, a supporting fiber and a water-swelling adhesive fiber.
