Abstract;Kobe Steel and Shinko Actec have commercialized a deodorant filter for kitchen exhaust fumes. The filter acts to adsorb high concentrations of odorous compounds which are then released in low concentrations, thus greatly reducing the fluctuation of exhaust odor levels. Organic materials like oil mist that adhered to the filter are catalytically decomposed into volatile matter. The filter maintained its deodorant performance characteristics for more than one year in field tests with standard kitchen exhaust systems. The deodorant performance of degraded filters was restored by baking them at 250.DEG.C.. (author abst.)
