Abstract

The present invention provides for a device for reducing a volatile organic compound (VOC) content of a gas comprising a manganese oxide (MnO) catalyst. The manganese oxide (MnO) catalyst is capable of catalyzing formaldehyde at room temperature, with complete conversion, to COand water vapor. The manganese oxide (MnO) catalyst itself is not consumed by the reaction of formaldehyde into COand water vapor. The present invention also provides for a device for reducing or removing a particle, a VOC and/or ozone from a gas comprising an activated carbon filter (ACF) on a media that is capable of being periodically regenerated.
