ABSTRACT:
A filter device and method for using a filter device. The filter device includes a catalyst for catalyzing the reaction of organic molecules, such as an oxidation reaction, and an adsorbent for adsorbing reacted organic molecules. As a result, gaseous contaminants that include organic molecules are reacted to alter the polarity and reduce the molecular weight of the molecules. The reacted molecules are then adsorbed using an adsorbent. The filter and method are particularly useful for reacting and capturing hydrocarbons such as aliphatic hydrocarbons from an enclosed space, such as a disk drive assembly.
