Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air purification materials, in particular to a negative oxygen ion air purifier and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, market demand for air purifiers has continued to grow, particularly those that release negative oxygen ions. These purifiers have attracted significant attention for their potential to improve indoor air quality and enhance human health. Negative oxygen ions have antibacterial, dust-removing, and odor-removing properties, but their stability is susceptible to environmental factors, particularly reactions with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air, which can deplete the negative oxygen ions and reduce their effectiveness.

[0003] Currently, a variety of air purifiers utilize plant essential oils as fragrances and antibacterial ingredients. For example, Chinese invention patent publication number CN109701387B discloses a plant-based negative oxygen ion air purifier that utilizes tea tree oil, lemon oil, and perilla seed oil as its primary fragrance ingredients. However, these essential oils contain significant amounts of terpenes (such as limonene and α-pinene). These substances are chemically active and readily undergo oxidation reactions with negative oxygen ions, resulting in their consumption and reduced durability and effectiveness. Furthermore, terpenes can generate secondary pollutants (such as formaldehyde and ozone) when exposed to sunlight or high temperatures, further impacting indoor air quality.

[0004] Therefore, how to ensure that air purifiers have both aromatic and antibacterial properties without compromising the stability of negative oxygen ions has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. It is necessary to develop a new air purifier formula that can efficiently release negative oxygen ions while avoiding their consumption by essential oils, thereby improving the product's overall performance and durability.

[0051] The preparation method of citric acid-activated bentonite comprises the following steps: firstly, the bentonite is mixed with a 5wt% citric acid solution at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:8, and then ultrasonically treated at 82°C with a frequency of 40kHz and a power density of 50W / L for 1 hour, then washed with deionized water until neutral, dried at 118°C, and finally calcined at 480°C for 2 hours.

[0056] S3.

Benzoin essential oil, tonka bean essential oil, and Peru balsam essential oil are all terpene-free essential oils.

[0059] Comparative Example 1

[0060] The method is substantially the same as Example 3, except that no modified plant essential oil is used.

[0061] Comparative Example 1

[0063] Test Example 1

[0064] Test content: Take the negative oxygen ion air purifier prepared in Examples 1 to 4 as the test group, and take the negative oxygen ion air purifier prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 2 as the control group. Spray the test group and the control group on a 1m 3 In a sealed room, after being sealed for 24 hours, the indoor temperature of the sealed room was set to 0℃, 25℃ and 60℃, and the air ion concentration in the sealed room was measured using an electrometer, which is the amount of negative ions released. The results are recorded in Table 1.

[0065] Table 1

[0066] As can be seen from Table 1, the negative ion release of Examples 1 to 4 is much higher than that of Comparative Examples 1 to 2, the negative ion release of Comparative Example 1 is higher than that of Comparative Example 2, and compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 2, the ion release of Examples 1 to 4 at 60°C is much higher than that at 0°C, indicating that the selection of modified plant essential oils can significantly increase the negative ion release. It is speculated that after β-cyclodextrin and the modified plant essential oil form microcapsules, the volatilization rate of the modified essential oil is greatly suppressed, and the active sites on the surface of the neodymium-doped tourmaline powder are in contact with the modified plant essential oil for a long time. The magnesium lactate and zinc acetate introduced into the modified plant essential oil provide additional free electrons on the tourmaline surface, and Mg²⁺ and Zn²⁺ can act as electron acceptors to enhance the spontaneous polarization effect of the tourmaline surface and improve the negative ion generation efficiency.

[0067] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

Co-encapsulation: β-cyclodextrin and anhydrous ethanol were first mixed in a mass ratio of 1:1.5-2.0, stirred at 300-500 rpm for 10 min in a water bath at 50-55°C until completely wetted, then neodymium-doped tourmaline powder and modified plant essential oil were added, and homogenized at 1800-2200 rpm using a high-speed homogenizer for 15 min to obtain a suspension, and finally the suspension was placed in an atomizer and spray-dried at an air inlet temperature of 80°C and an air outlet temperature of 55-60°C to obtain a composite microcapsule powder; S2. Prepare a substrate: dissolve ethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose in propylene glycol, stir at 600 rpm in a water bath at 60-65°C for 30-40 minutes until a transparent colloid is formed, then add hydroxyethyl acrylate and sodium polyaspartate, and continue stirring for 20-30 minutes until completely mixed to obtain a substrate solution; S3. Solid phase dispersion: The composite microcapsule powder, citric acid-activated bentonite, and substrate solution are placed in a high-pressure homogenizer and circulated for 2 to 3 times at a pressure of 18 to 22 MPa, each time for 5 to 8 minutes, to obtain a mixed phase; S4, aging: first add a pH buffer to the mixed phase for adjustment, stir and age it in a constant temperature water bath at 20-25° C. at a speed of 50-70 rpm for 3 hours, and finally degas for 15 minutes at a vacuum degree of -0.08-0.1 MPa to obtain the negative oxygen ion air purifier.

6. The method for preparing a negative oxygen ion air purifier according to claim 5, characterized in that: In S1, the rotation speed of the atomizer is 20000-25000 rpm, and the atomization pressure is 0.15-0.25 MPa.

7. The method for preparing a negative oxygen ion air purifier according to claim 5, characterized in that: In S3, the temperature in the high-pressure homogenizer is ≤45°C, and the high-pressure homogenizer is left to stand for 5 minutes after each cycle.
