PURPOSE:To catch and decompose the malodor component in the air by providing the adsorbent attached with photocatalyst and an exiting source exciting the photocatalyst. CONSTITUTION:The air in a room is sucked from the suction grill 3 of an air cleaner 1 by the revolution of a fan 5 and discharged form a delivery grill 7 through an electrostatically charged filter 4 and a deodorizer 6 to clean the air. The odor component in the air is caught by the adsorbent consisting of activated carbon. The photocatalyst, such as anatase type titanium dioxide, is formed on the surface of the adsorbent. By lightening an ultraviolet ray lamp, the photocatalyst is excited to decompose the odor component. In this case, the radiation of ultraviolet rays is intermittently carried out, and the radiation of about one hour after eight hour run is ordinarily carried out. |
