AirGorilla has developed advanced and innovative photocatalytic oxidation air purifying systems that destroy airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOC's) & odors. Air Gorilla's technology can be used to provide clean, pure air to meet the needs of a host of industries as well as consumers.
AirGorilla uses an advanced, nano-technolgoy titanium dioxide for maximum destruction of contaminants. The science of nano-technology now allows surfaces to be covered with up to 70% more atoms resulting in greater photocatalytic activation. Titanium dioxoide (TiO2) is a powerful photocatalyst that will not degrade under intense ultraviolet light and is self cleaning. It is an extremely powerfu oxidizer, lethal to biological contaminants and unpleasant odors, but harmless to us. Titania is fouund everywhere. It is in paint, processed foods, toothpaste and cosmetics. We eat it and wear it. Now we are using it to clean the air we breath.
UNDERSTANDING PCO
Photocatalytic Oxidation is the process of irradiating with ultraviolet light of less than 385 nanometers a semiconductor photocatalyst. When the photocatalyst is irradiated, the band gap energy is exceeded and an electron is promoted from the valence band to the conductive band. The resultant electron-hole pair participates in chemical reactions and generates hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions that are highly reactive and will oxidize volatile organic compounds, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These reactions only take place on the surface of the catalyst
Simply put, the pollutant is destroyed in a three-step process:
First, the pollutant adsorbs to the surface of the catalyst.
The pollutant and catalyst are exposed to the photons of UV light.
The light energy activates the catalyst, which breaks down the pollutant into nontoxic products.
