Title: Innovations by Anthony J Wagner
Introduction
Anthony J Wagner is an accomplished inventor based in Buffalo Grove, IL (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of air quality improvement through his innovative patent. His work focuses on reducing airborne malodors, which is a common issue in indoor environments.
Latest Patents
Wagner holds a patent for the "Reduction of airborne malodors using hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst-coated media." This invention describes compositions, methods, and apparatuses designed to reduce or eliminate malodors from indoor air. The method utilizes vapor phase hydrogen peroxide (VPHP), which can be generated from either evaporation of an aqueous-based liquid composition or sublimation from a solid hydrogen peroxide-containing compound. VPHP engages a media coated with at least one transitional metal element or compound, acting as an oxidation catalyst in the presence of air containing malodorous compounds. This innovative approach enhances the efficacy of malodor molecule oxidation. The apparatus can include a disposable porous non-woven filter pad coated with transition metal compounds and a solid source of VPHP. Malodor-containing air interacts with the pad in the presence of VPHP to effectively oxidize the malodorants. Additionally, the apparatus may feature a mechanism to provide color change(s) in the presence of VPHP, indicating whether the device contains VPHP.
