NON-WOVEN AIR FILTER MIXED WITH OPTICAL FIBER AND AIR CLEANER CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed are a non-woven air filter mixed with optical fiber which can effectively decompose pollutant absorbed on an absorbent for gaseous pollutant by including optical fiber arranged in a non-woven fabric containing the absorbent and emitting light through the surface, and an air cleaner containing the same. The non-woven air filter mixed with optical fiber comprises a plurality of bundles of optical fiber emitting a part of light which is emitted from one end and flows in a longitudinal direction; a plurality of bundles of fiber irregularly mixed and distributed to form a non-woven layer with the optical fiber and distributed in order for air to pass through the layer in the thickness direction; and an adsorbent adsorbing gas pollutant passing through the non-woven layer. The absorbent is coated with an optical catalyst, thus increasing the decomposition effect of the gas pollutant material. The air cleaner according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the non-woven air filter mixed with optical fiber and a light source supplying visible rays, UV rays, and mixed light to the optical fiber.
