Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021191294A1] The present invention relates to the use of an ion exchanger for removing and/or reducing biological contaminants, such as viruses, bacteria and fungal spores, in gases and gas flows, such as ambient air and breathing air, as well as an associated method. In particular embodiments, the ion exchanger is a cation exchanger loaded partially or substantially completely with H+ ions, or an anion exchanger loaded partially or substantially completely with OH– ions. In addition or as an alternative, the ion exchanger can be loaded with transition metals ions, such as titanium ions, copper ions and/or silver ions.
