Here is a new way of getting rid of smoke even when ten people sit around in the same room and smoke. Astonishingly, the time taken to remove all the smoke is less than half an hour, according to researchers.
A nano-catalyst based on manganese oxide is coated on the filter. This filter can be used in any room and it can help in reducing and purifying the harmful substances emitted out of cigarette smoke. This newly developed catalyst can purify about 80 per cent of cigarette smoke in just half an hour and all the 100 per cent of it can be cleared in just an hour in a room of 30 square meter where there are ten people smoking at a time.Filters that are charcoal based are mostly used for removing all gaseous materials.However, gaseous materials like acetaldehyde cannot be removed. Also, the absorption performance of the filter gets decreased at faster rate in smoking rooms and requires replacement ever week.
Hence, a research team has developed a new nano-catalyst that has even coating of manganese oxide based nano-catalyst powder over a ceramic-based filter media.
