Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de filtration d'air à deux étages comprenant une unité de filtration de matière solide, un filtre de charbon actif, une unité de filtration de matière liquide, et une quantité d'eau distillée infusée avec des nanoparticules d'argent liquide chargées positivement. Le filtre de charbon actif est fixé de façon amovible à l'unité de filtration de matière solide pour initier une première étape de filtration d'air pour l'air ambiant retiré à travers une pluralité d'entrées de l'unité de filtration de matière solide. La quantité d'eau distillée infusée avec des nanoparticules d'argent liquide chargées positivement, est enfermée à l'intérieur de l'unité de filtration de matière liquide pour initier une seconde étape de filtration d'air après que la première étape de filtration d'air soit achevée. L'air purifié est ensuite évacué par un canal de sortie de l'unité de filtration de matière liquide pour une consommation.
