The effect of adding photocatalyst ceramics on reducing particulate matter in indoor air purification systems

Abstract

Indoor air quality can be maintained by using an air purifier. Increasing the absorption of particulates (PM) in the air purifier can be done by adding photocatalyst ceramics. This study aims to determine the impact of adding photocatalyst ceramics to an air purifier. A simple reactor resembling an air purifier was made, to which a photocatalyst ceramic was added. The PM remaining in the output air is then analyzed based on the rate of photocatalytic degradation. The results showed that the use of photocatalyst ceramics can accelerate the absorption of PM compared to without using it.
