Composite dual functional filter for cabin air clean-up

与微生物气溶胶和污染物有关的健康影响是众所周知的。由于客舱内乘客众多，可能会有高浓度的二氧化碳、灰尘、纤维、细菌和其他微生物。在复杂的客舱空气环境中，乘客和机组人员可能比正常情况下更容易受到感染。Copper服装有限公司和巴斯大学的合作项目旨在开发一种新型的双功能机舱空气过滤器，用于清除微生物气溶胶，去除挥发性污染物，为乘客提供更好、更清洁的空气。活性铜离子和纳米碳/新型金属有机框架（MOF）封装的微生物/吸附过滤器将被设计为实现最佳过滤性能，同时为乘客和机组人员提供健康益处，最长的使用寿命，最小的重量，最小的尺寸和节能。

Health effects associated with microbial aerosols and contaminants are well known. Due to the largenumber of passengers in the aircraft cabin, there may be high concentrations of CO2, dust, fibres, bacteria andother micro-organisms.In the complex cabin air environment, passengers and crew may be more susceptible to infection than undernormal circumstances. The collaborative project between Copper Clothing Ltd and the University of Bath aim todevelop a novel dual functional cabin air filter for the eradication of microbial aerosols, and the removal ofvolatile contaminants, providing improved, cleaner air for passenger use. The active copper ions and nano-carbon/novel metal organic frameworks (MOF) encapsulated microbial/adsorbent filters will be designed toachieve optimal filtration performance while providing health benefits to passengers and crew, maximumservice life, minimum weight, smallest size and energy savings.
