Improve the performance of Heaven Fresh Canada Inc. air purifier

Indoor air quality has received immense attention in past decades, considering it is more

heavily polluted than outdoor environments. People generally spend more than 80% of their

time indoors, which contributes to a higher risk of inhaling pollutants. Air cleaning is the most

feasible way to improve indoor air quality. Most of indoor air – purifying systems adapt filter –

type components to purify polluted air. This method is effective for short-term use, but

insufficient for long-term filtration as cleaning the filter components produces secondary

pollution. In this proposal, two different types of materials are considered as potential

substitutions for traditional air filters. First, a filter coated with TiO2 nanoparticles; TiO2 based

cleaning techniques are effective against degrading organic and inorganic compounds, toxic

metal ions, and to kill microorganisms and viruses. Secondly, a zeolitic material that can be

dispersed on a filter; the zeolites are porous aluminosilicate compounds. The present study

indicates that the zeolites are particularly well suited for volatile…
