An inorganic silicate zeolite material and its viral filtration applications
By controlling the synthesis conditions of modified hydrogen-type zeolite and the use of dispersing additives, uniform distribution of aluminum atoms is achieved, increasing the acid site density of zeolite. Hydrogen ions are used to form hydrogen bonds with viral surface proteins to inactivate viruses, solving the problems of poor biocompatibility and low inactivation efficiency of existing antiviral materials, and achieving a highly efficient virus inactivation effect.

AI Technical Summary
Existing antiviral materials have poor biocompatibility and low inactivation efficiency, making them unable to effectively kill airborne viruses, especially the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Furthermore, traditional metal-based zeolite materials suffer from cytotoxicity and high cost.
By controlling the synthesis conditions of modified hydrogen-type zeolite, adding dispersing additives and ultrasonic treatment, the uniform distribution of aluminum atoms in the zeolite framework is achieved, thereby increasing the ion exchange capacity and acid density. Hydrogen ions are used to form hydrogen bonds with viral surface proteins to achieve chemical inactivation of the virus.
An inorganic silicate zeolite material with high efficiency in inactivating viruses has been obtained. It has extremely strong surface acidity and high biocompatibility, and can safely and effectively kill viruses in the air, especially the novel coronavirus. It is suitable for antiviral gauze, masks and air purification filters.
