AIR CLEANING SYSTEM AND AIR CLEANING METHOD

Abstract

Provided is an air cleaning system including: an ozone generation unit that generates ozone gas; and a discharge unit that atomizes or vaporizes an aqueous alcohol solution and discharges the aqueous alcohol solution. A mole fraction of an alcohol included in the aqueous alcohol solution with respect to the aqueous alcohol solution is 0.05 or more and 0.35 or less. A hydroxyl radical is generated through a reaction of the ozone gas with the aqueous alcohol solution that has been atomized or vaporized.

Description

Claims

1. An air cleaning system comprising: an ozone generation unit that generates ozone gas; anda discharge unit that atomizes or vaporizes an aqueous alcohol solution and discharges the aqueous alcohol solution, wherein a mole fraction of an alcohol included in the aqueous alcohol solution with respect to the aqueous alcohol solution is 0.05 or more and 0.35 or less, anda hydroxyl radical is generated through a reaction of the ozone gas with the aqueous alcohol solution that has been atomized or vaporized.

2. The air cleaning system according to claim 1, wherein the alcohol includes at least one of ethanol or isopropanol.

3. The air cleaning system according to claim 1, wherein the alcohol is discharged in such a manner that the alcohol, when converted as gas, is 12 times or less the ozone gas in volume ratio.

4. The air cleaning system according to claim 1, further comprising a first housing that houses the ozone generation unit and the discharge unit, wherein the ozone gas and the aqueous alcohol solution that has been atomized or vaporized react inside the first housing.

5. The air cleaning system according to claim 1, further comprising a first housing that houses the ozone generation unit and the discharge unit, wherein the ozone gas and the aqueous alcohol solution that has been atomized or vaporized react outside the first housing.

6. The air cleaning system according to claim 1, further comprising: a second housing that houses the ozone generation unit; anda third housing that houses the discharge unit, wherein the ozone gas and the aqueous alcohol solution that has been atomized or vaporized react outside the second housing and the third housing.

7. The air cleaning system according to claim 1, wherein an ozone gas concentration in an external space is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.1 ppm.

8. A method for cleaning air comprising: a step of generating ozone gas;a step of atomizing or vaporizing an aqueous alcohol solution and discharging the aqueous alcohol solution; anda step of generating a hydroxyl radical through a reaction of the ozone gas with the aqueous alcohol solution that has been atomized or vaporized, wherein a mole fraction of an alcohol included in the aqueous alcohol solution with respect to the aqueous alcohol solution is 0.05 or more and 0.35 or less.
