Abstract
Pyro sulfuric acid is employed to decontaminate air. Contaminated air is contacted with pyro sulfuric acid in a pyro sulfuric acid system, and released as decontaminated air. The system can be especially useful in a chemical/biological/nuclear defense module.
Claims18
A module for chemical/biological/nuclear defense comprising a hollow housing having an interior and at least one wall enclosing the interior;
- a doorway in at least one wall of the at least one wall enclosing the interior, through which personnel can pass to or from the interior from or to outside the housing;
- and an air decontamination system including a pyro sulfuric acid system, which has pyro sulfuric acid for scrubbing a threat agent from the air, a sulfur trioxide condenser, and a bicarbonate/carbonate scrubber.
An air decontaminater comprising a hollow vessel;
- intake and exit openings in the vessel, said intake opening for intake of contaminated air and said exit opening for release of decontaminated air;
- and, within the vessel and such that said intake and exit openings are in communication, an air decontamination system including pyro sulfuric acid;
- and further, in communication with the vessel, a sulfur trioxide condenser;
- and further, in communication with the condenser, a bicarbonate/carbonate scrubber.
The method for decontamination of contaminated air, said method comprising:
- providing an air decontaminater including a hollow vessel;
- intake and exit openings in the vessel, said intake opening for entry of contaminated air and said exit opening for release of decontaminated air;
- and, within the vessel and such that said intake and exit openings are in communication, an air decontamination system including pyro sulfuric acid;
- and further, in communication with the vessel, a sulfur trioxide condenser;
- and further, in communication with the condenser, a bicarbonate/carbonate scrubber;
- providing contaminated air to said entry opening whereby said contaminated air comes into contact with said pyro sulfuric acid;
- releasing decontaminated air from said exit opening;
- passing the decontaminated air through said condenser;
- and
- passing the decontaminated air through said scrubber.
A module for chemical/biological/nuclear defense comprising a hollow housing having an interior and at least one wall enclosing the interior;
- a doorway in at least one wall of the at least one wall enclosing the interior, through which personnel can pass to or from the interior from or to outside the housing;
- and an air decontamination system including a pyro sulfuric acid system.
The module of claim 16, which is mobile.
An air decontaminater comprising a hollow system;
- intake and exit openings in the hollow system, said intake opening for intake of a contaminated air and said exit opening for release of a decontaminated air;
- and, within the hollow system and such that said intake and exit openings are in communication therewith, an air decontamination system including a pyro sulfuric acid system.
