Abstract
Recently, exhaust gas from paint factories has become a serious problem as the air pollution in urban areas. In particular, air purification apparatus for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) needs to be developed. Emissions from SMEs are large in volume and low concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and gelatinous particulate. Although granular activated carbon (PAC) is commonly used as adsorbent for VOCs, we developed the air purification apparatus using bag-filter coated with PAC. PAC could remove VOCs and gelatinous particulate. This study presents a new type of apparatus for paint factories.
