Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for capturing bioaerosols. More particularly, the apparatus for capturing bioaerosols includes a sprayer configured to spray a buffer solution for protecting aerosol particles in a form of droplets; and a capturer into which air including the droplets and the aerosol particles is introduced and in a capture solution in which the aerosol particles are captured, wherein discharge members provided with a plurality of nanostructures are provided on a surface of the capturer to charge the aerosol particles. Due to such a configuration, high discharge efficiency can be anticipated even at a low voltage without damage to aerosol particles.
Claims20
An apparatus for capturing bioaerosols, comprising:
- a sprayer configured to spray a buffer solution for protecting aerosol particles in a form of droplets;
- and
- a capturer into which air comprising the droplets and the aerosol particles is introduced and in a capture solution in which the aerosol particles are captured,
- wherein discharge members provided with a plurality of nanostructures are provided on a surface of the capturer to charge the aerosol particles.
An apparatus for capturing bioaerosols, comprising:
- a capture tube where air comprising aerosol particles are introduced and discharged and in which a capture solution circulates;
- and
- discharge members configured to apply discharge electrodes toward an inside of the capture tube so as to charge the aerosol particles and thus allow the charged aerosol particles to be captured in the capture solution,
- wherein a plurality of nanopins are provided to protrude from a surface of the discharge members so as to charge the aerosol particles.
