In order to reduce occupants' exposures to formaldehyde, a newly designed photocatalytic reactor was applied in a dynamic HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system.

文摘Formaldehyde is the key contaminant influencing building occupants' health in indoor environment. In order to reduce occupants' exposures to formaldehyde, a newly designed photocatalytic reactor was applied in a dynamic HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system. The experiments were carried out for the removal of formaldehyde present in air at low parts per million (ppm) concentrations. The initial formaldehyde concentrations were set as 1.59 ppm and 0.27 ppm respectively, based on the formaldehyde levels in the polluted places. Experimental results show that the photocatalytic reactor is effective on formaldehyde photodegradation, causes a low pressure drop, and does not make the second pollution of ozone. The kinetic anaiysis indicates that the kinetics for oxidation processes can be fitted well by a pseudo-first-order kinetic model deduced from Langmuir - Hinshelwood (L-H) model.
