Disclosed is an apparatus for decomposing low-concentration volatile organic compounds, which includes: an adsorption unit configured to adsorb a volatile organic compound; a heated air supply unit configured to supply a heated air to the adsorption unit; an oxidation decomposing catalyst unit configured to decompose a volatile organic compound detached from the adsorption unit; and an ozone supply unit configured to supply an ozone to the oxidation decomposing catalyst unit. The apparatus may maximize an exchange cycle semi-permanently by adsorbing low-concentration VOC under a high-flow condition and then detaching VOC within a short time and also by recycling an adsorption filter. In addition, the apparatus may effectively decompose VOC substances detached by a low flow into carbon dioxide and water under a condition with most excellent oxidation decomposition efficiency by using an oxidation decomposing catalyst filter.

Disclosed is a catalyst filter, which includes a catalyst support and a nano metallic catalyst sprayed to a surface of the catalyst support. The catalyst filter uses catalyst slurry prepared by using a particulate catalyst, in which a small amount of nano metallic catalyst exhibiting a catalyst performance is sprayed to a surface of the catalyst support, different from an existing patent technique in which catalyst particles are formed and prepared as a support to consume a large amount of catalyst. Therefore, the specific surface area of the catalyst filter is not smaller than the specific surface area of the nano catalyst particles, and thus the catalyst filter may effectively remove and decompose ultra-low concentration gas-state contaminants in an indoor air.

Provided is a method for preparing a vanadia-titania catalyst, comprising: vaporizing a titanium precursor; conveying the vaporized titanium precursor to a reaction unit together with an oxygen supplying source; reacting the vaporized titanium precursor conveyed to the reaction unit with the oxygen supplying source to produce titania particles; condensing the titania particles, collecting and recovering them; mixing the recovered titania particles with a vanadium precursor solution; drying the mixture of the titania particles with the vanadium precursor solution; and calcining the dried mixture under oxygen atmosphere or air. Provided also is a vanadia-titania catalyst obtained by the method. The vanadia-titania catalyst has a large specific surface area, uniform and fine nano-scaled size, and high dispersibility, thereby providing excellent nitrogen oxide removal efficiency, particularly in a low temperature range of 200&#xb0; C.-250&#xb0; C.

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for manufacturing composite nanoparticles. The apparatus comprises: a first precursor supply unit vaporizing a first precursor and supplying it to a reaction unit; a second precursor supply unit vaporizing a second precursor and supplying it to the reaction unit; the reaction unit producing composite nanoparticles by reacting the vaporized first precursor with the vaporized second precursor; an oxygen supply line supplying an oxygen source to the reaction unit; and a collection unit collecting the composite nanoparticles produced by the reaction unit. Since gas phase synthesis occurs in different stages using the U-shaped reaction chamber, aggregation is prevented and composite nanoparticles of uniform size and high specific surface area can be produced easily.
