Claim 17:
18. A method for the separation and/or purification of aerosols and solid material particles from gases, comprising:
(a) providing an aerosol having solid material particles and gases;
(b) providing a tube container having an inlet at a front end, an outlet at a rear end, and a round cross section, the tube extending concentrically around an axis;
(c) receiving the aerosol in a conveying direction into the inlet of the tube;
(d) acting upon the aerosol by a plurality of standing acoustic sound wave, such that the solid material particles move away from the gases, wherein the solid material particles move toward a plurality of pressure nodes by a force of the standing acoustic sound waves, and wherein the gases move toward a plurality of pressure antinodes by the force of the standing acoustic sound waves;
(e) condensing the solid material particles by the force of the plurality of the standing acoustic sound waves,
(f) using an ultra-violet (UV) heating device to heat the solid material particles so as to kill bacteria, biofilms and viruses; and
(g) separating the solid material particles from the gases of the aerosol.
