Abstract

A device and method thereof for the indoor-air purification that utilizes photocatalytic oxidation and ultraviolet lights in a fluidized bed to remove pollutants. The fluidized bed contains ultraviolet lights that are immersed within the bed for direct access to ultraviolet-irradiation. Fluidization aids such as vibration and static mixers may be employed to allow for better circulation of the catalyst bed to increase reaction rates. Photocatalytic oxidation within the device uses photocatalyst particles that were designed to be more active, fluidize better and have ten-fold higher attrition-resistant qualities than current industry standards. The device provides for the most efficient use of and longevity of ultraviolet light which reduces operating costs.
