Research on application of zeolite in air purification of ship cabins

Abstract

It’s necessary to equip the ship cabins with suitable air purification device which can ensure the ship’s air quality without affecting the physical and mental health of the crew living in the limited space of a ship during ocean voyage. In this paper, zeolite’s characteristics and application in air purification are introduced, and three different types of air purification filters are designed with zeolite particles as main materials, then three development programs of air purification engineering machine for ship cabins are proposed based on modular design concept. The air-purifying machine models proposed in this paper have been trial-produced and tested, which provides new choices for ship cabins’ air-purifying devices.
