Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a filter material and its use. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, pets have become an indispensable member of some families. While they bring joy to people, they also bring negative impacts. Since the protein and fat content in pet food is relatively high and their absorption rate is low, the odor of pet excrement is very strong. Pet excrement contains gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane, skatole, and amines. Generally, the existing filters on the market use H12 and H13 precision filter meshes, which are composed of ordinary activated carbon and two layers of non-woven fabric. They can mainly remove pollution sources such as formaldehyde, toluene, and VOC, but it is difficult to remove the gases in pet excrement.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN101332385A discloses an air filter material with activated carbon particles clamped between two layers of non-woven fabric. Although this filter material can intercept solid particles such as dust and remove some gases in the air by using the adsorption function of activated carbon, since the activated carbon particles are ordinary activated carbon, they cannot remove gases such as ammonia, methanethiol, hydrogen sulfide, and trimethylamine contained in pet odor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a filter material with a high removal rate of gases such as ammonia, methanethiol, hydrogen sulfide, and trimethylamine.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The filter material of the present invention includes a support layer, a deodorizing layer, and a melt-blown layer. The deodorizing layer contains 50-80% by weight of activated carbon particles and 5-15% by weight of an amine group-containing silica carrier. The activated carbon particles contain 5-25% by weight of acid radical groups.

[0006] Advantages of the present invention: The filter material of the present invention not only has the characteristics of good low resistance and high capture efficiency, but also has a high removal rate of gases such as ammonia, methanethiol, hydrogen sulfide, and trimethylamine. This filter material can be applied to remove pet odor. Detailed Embodiments

[0007] The filtering material for removing pet odors of the present invention includes a support layer, a deodorizing layer, and a meltblown layer. The deodorizing layer contains 50-80% by weight of activated carbon particles and 5-15% by weight of an amine group-containing silica carrier. The activated carbon particles contain 5-25% by weight of acid radical groups. Since the surface of the activated carbon has abundant slender pore diameters, on the one hand, physical adsorption is achieved in the pores by the force between molecules, and on the other hand, by adding a reagent containing acid radical groups inside the small pores of the activated carbon, chemical adsorption is achieved. If unfixed activated carbon is used in the deodorizing layer and relies solely on physical adsorption of the activated carbon, after long-term use, the captured gas molecules will disperse outward, resulting in secondary odor emission and failing to achieve the purpose of removing odors. Therefore, the deodorizing layer of the present invention contains 50-80% by weight of activated carbon particles, and the activated carbon particles contain 5-25% by weight of acid radical groups. Since the activated carbon particles are acid-activated, a highly porous structure is formed on their surface, and they have abundant functional groups such as hydroxyl groups and carbon oxides, which can react with alkaline gases in the air to neutralize, having a high adsorption capacity and adsorption rate. If the content is less than 5% by weight, there are very few acid radical groups for neutralizing alkaline gases, and the adsorption of alkaline gases such as ammonia and trimethylamine in pet odors by the material changes from a chemical reaction to a physical adsorption. Not only is the adsorption rate slow, but it also causes the re-diffusion of odor gases, thereby reducing the service life of the filtering material; if it is greater than 25% by weight, there are too many acid radical groups in the activated carbon particles, and their hardness is low, and they are damaged due to pressure during the processing of the filter material, resulting in a reduction in the adsorption performance of the filtering material.

[0008] As a carrier, silica has the characteristics of small particle size, large specific surface area, and many pores. Since silica contains silanol groups, a silanol group is a group in which a silicon atom is bonded to a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom. The silanol groups form an active hydroxyl layer on the surface of silica, making the surface of silica have good hydrophilicity and solubility. In addition, this silica is aminated silica. Since an affinity reaction occurs between amine molecules and aldehyde molecules, which is an irreversible chemical reaction, it can effectively remove aldehyde odors in the air and prevent gas re-diffusion. For example, the carbonyl group on a formaldehyde molecule reacts with the hydrogen atom on an amine molecule to generate harmless formamide and water. Therefore, the filtering material of the present invention contains 5-15% by weight of an amine group-containing silica carrier. If it is less than 5% by weight, the number of carriers dispersed throughout the filter material is small, the reaction rate of adsorbing odor gases is slow, the adsorption amount is small, and the adsorption capacity for methanethiol gas in pet odors is low; if it is greater than 15% by weight, the water absorption performance of the material will increase, resulting in the odor molecules adsorbed in the micropores being emitted with the moisture, losing the effect of removing indoor pet odors.

[0009] The average particle size of the above-mentioned activated carbon particles is preferably 150 to 650 μm. If the average particle size is too large, since the activated carbon particles are hard, the melt-blown layer may be damaged when pressed by the pressure roller, and when the filter material is folded into a filter element, the activated carbon has a tendency to burst out, thus reducing the particulate matter capture efficiency; if it is too small, the activated carbon particles are likely to fall from the gaps in the support layer, with a tendency to cause dust pollution. In order to better ensure the integrity of the cloth surface of each layer in the filter material and the fullness of the activated carbon particles, the average particle size of the activated carbon particles is more preferably 180 to 600 μm.

[0010] The grammage of the above-mentioned deodorizing layer is preferably 100 to 300 g / m 2 . The deodorizing layer is mainly used to adsorb odor gases. The grammage of the deodorizing layer is preferably 100 g / m 2 or more. This can ensure sufficient air contact area, and for gases such as ammonia, methanethiol, hydrogen sulfide, and trimethylamine in pet odors, a deodorizing effect of more than 80% can be achieved; the grammage of the deodorizing layer is preferably 300 g / m 2 or less, which can ensure that the material has an adsorption effect of more than 80% on pet odors, and can maintain a good shape during the folding process without breakage and carbon exposure.

[0011] The above-mentioned acid radical groups are preferably carbonate, acetate, oxalate or phosphate. The activated carbon particles with acid radical groups refer to ordinary activated carbon preferably activated by carbonic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid or phosphoric acid to form activated carbon particles with a porous structure containing acid radical groups. Since phosphoric acid has good oxidizing properties, it can further oxidize the activated carbon particles, erode the carbon body to form pores, and thus form activated carbon with a rich and porous specific surface area. The surface of this activated carbon is mainly composed of acid groups, which can well adsorb alkaline gases such as ammonia and trimethylamine in pet odors, and no harmful gases will be generated during the treatment of the activated carbon. Therefore, the acid radical group is more preferably phosphate.

[0012] In order to ensure effective odor removal, the pH value of the above-mentioned activated carbon particles is preferably 2.5 or less. Under the action of acidic surface groups, the activated carbon particles are in an acidic state, and can undergo a neutralization reaction with alkaline gas molecules in the air, thus effectively removing the odor of alkaline gases such as ammonia and trimethylamine in the air.

[0013] The specific surface area of the above-mentioned activated carbon particles is preferably 1000 to 2000 m 2 / g. The specific surface area is one of the indicators used to measure the adsorption performance of activated carbon. The specific surface area of activated carbon includes the internal surface area and the external surface area. In fact, the adsorption performance of activated carbon mainly comes from its huge internal surface area. By making it preferably 1000 m 2 / g or more, more preferably 1200 m 2Above / g, activated carbon with effective area can be obtained, and the adsorption capacity for odor is improved. By making it preferably 2000 m 2 / g or less, more preferably 1500 m 2 / g or less, while maintaining a certain strength of the activated carbon, impurities and pollutants other than the target gas in the surrounding environment can be avoided from being adsorbed, thereby increasing the reliability of the material and ensuring its service life.

[0014] The specific surface area of the above-mentioned silica carrier is preferably 400 - 600 m 2 / g. Odor gas is captured through the porous structure of silica. Although the larger the specific surface area of the silica carrier, the better the adsorption capacity, the larger the specific surface area, the more pores on the surface of the carrier. During the process of fitting the filter material, it is prone to be damaged by external force extrusion, resulting in a decrease in adsorption capacity. In order to ensure sufficient contact area with air, actual reaction rate with the removed gas, and the effect of removing odor, the specific surface area of the silica carrier is preferably 400 m 2 / g or more. In order to ensure that the carrier can effectively remove odor and has a certain hardness, the specific surface area is preferably 600 m 2 / g or less.

[0015] The average pore diameter of the above-mentioned silica is preferably 55 - 65 nm. The silica surface has a relatively high pore volume, which can enable gas to diffuse into the pores and have good contact with the gas. In addition, a relatively high pore volume can accommodate a large amount of medicament.

[0016] The above-mentioned support layer is preferably composed of a thermal bonding non-woven fabric with a gram weight between 30 - 100 g / m 2 The raw material for forming the thermal bonding non-woven fabric is preferably PET, PP or PVA fiber, more preferably PET fiber. The thermal bonding non-woven fabric formed by PET fiber has characteristics such as high temperature resistance and high strength. During the processing process, it can prevent the leakage of activated carbon particles. In order to ensure that the filter material has better strength and is not easily damaged, the gram weight of the support layer is more preferably 60 - 80 g / m 2 .

[0017] The above-mentioned meltblown layer is preferably composed of a polypropylene charged meltblown non-woven fabric with an average fiber diameter between 3.0 - 6.0 μm. The fineness of the fiber is represented by the diameter and cross-sectional area of the fiber, or determined by the mass and length of the fiber. The finer the fiber diameter, the larger the specific surface area. The more fibers there are per unit area of the meltblown cloth, the smaller and more complex the gaps between the fibers, and the narrower the pore distribution. Therefore, more particles are captured, thereby improving the filtration efficiency of the filter material.

[0018] The above-mentioned charged meltblown non-woven fabric is preferably a hydroelectret polypropylene meltblown non-woven fabric. The meltblown fabric treated with hydroelectret has a high trapping efficiency. In addition, in order to prevent it from being punctured by activated carbon particles, the grammage of the polypropylene charged meltblown fabric of the present invention is preferably 20-80 g / m 2 .

[0019] The preparation method of the filter material of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0020] (1) Preparation of the support layer: After the PET fibers are carded into a web, they are then subjected to thermal bonding processing to form a thermally bonded non-woven fabric with a grammage of 60-80 g / m 2 .

[0021] (2) Preparation of the meltblown layer: The polypropylene masterbatch containing a nucleating agent is melted at a high temperature and then ejected from a die with fine holes. After being stretched and thinned by hot air, it falls on the surface of the collecting net to form a fiber web. Then, the obtained fiber web is subjected to electret processing to obtain a charged meltblown fabric;

[0022] (3) Preparation of the deodorizing layer: a. Activated carbon added with an acidic agent and ordinary activated carbon are mixed at a weight ratio of 25-60:75-40 to obtain activated carbon particles; b. An aqueous solution of a reagent containing 5-10% by weight of amine groups is sprayed on a silica porous carrier to obtain an amine-containing silica carrier composition; c. The activated carbon particles in step a, the composition in step b, and the rubber powder are mixed at a weight ratio of 50-80:5-15:15-35 to obtain a deodorizing adsorbent material;

[0023] (4) Preparation of the filter material: The deodorizing adsorbent material prepared in step (3) and an adhesive are evenly spread on the surface of the support layer, and then passed through a heating zone at 310-370 °C, and pressed by a pressure roller to be bonded to the meltblown layer, and finally the filter material of the present invention is obtained.

[0024] The present invention will be described in more detail through the following examples and comparative examples. However, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples, and the physical properties in the examples are measured by the following methods.
