  • Publication number: 20200054776
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a photocatalyst-carrying mesh sheet which firmly supports anatase type titanium oxide as a photocatalyst to prevent peeling, and increases opportunities for contact with the photocatalyst to significantly improve a purification treatment efficiency provided by the photocatalyst and to suppress manufacturing cost. A photocatalyst-carrying mesh sheet (S1) is disclosed, which includes: a net-form titanium sheet (11) having a periodic pattern; a titanium oxide film (3) formed on a surface of the net-form titanium sheet (11); and an anatase type titanium oxide particle (4) supported on the titanium oxide film (3).

  • Publication number: 20150182654
    Abstract: An air purification system includes an internally hollow cylindrical casing made of a non-conducting material; an inner electrode arranged on an inner surface of the supporting member; an outer electrode arranged on an outer surface of the supporting member; a photocatalyst filter arranged on an outer surface of the outer electrode for purifying air inside a plasma generation zone; and a power source for supplying power of opposite polarities to each of the inner electrode and the outer electrode so as to generate plasma. The photocatalyst filter includes a filter element, and the filter element includes a porous titanium foil having a non-periodic spongy structure impregnated with anatase titanium dioxide particles as a photocatalyst.

  • Patent number: 9061086
    Abstract: A photocatalyst element structure includes a photocatalyst element that includes a flat photocatalyst sheet and an undulating photocatalyst sheet overlapped on the flat photocatalyst sheet. The flat photocatalyst sheet and the undulating photocatalyst sheet include a porous titanium foil having a non-periodic spongy structure impregnated with anatase titanium dioxide particles. The photocatalyst element structure can include a plurality of the photocatalyst elements so that the flat photocatalyst sheet and the undulating photocatalyst sheet alternate.
