Abstract
Abstract Process for manufacturing a deodorizing gas filter which comprises dissolving polyvinyl alcohol in water; adding to said solution at least one substance which is an amphoteric ion exchange resin, activated carbon or coconut shell charcoal, thereby forming a pasty mass; adding to said pasty mass glyoxal, in an amount in excess of that which would be sufficient to acetalize the polyvinyl alcohol, and a small amount of acid for the acetal formation; impregnating the resulting composition into a non-woven textile fabric gas filter; and heating said impregnated filter at about 70°-100° C for 30 minutes to 2 hours, thereby converting said polyvinyl alcohol to polyvinyl acetal.
