Abstract: L'invention concerne un filtre à cigarettes (14) destiné à éliminer les constituants de phase gazeuse de la fumée de cigarettes principale, lorsque la fumée passe à travers le filtre . Ledit filtre comprend une partie filtre (16) en fibres de carbone notamment un fagot de fibres de carbone (24). Des matières absorbantes de particules telles que des granules, des perles ou des poudres grossières (42) peuvent être dispersées parmi les fibres de carbone (24) activées, ceci permettant d'éliminer les constituants de la phase gazeuse. De plus, ladite partie filtre (16) en fibres de carbone activées peut être utilisée en association avec un ou des lits séparés de matières (42) absorbant les particules. Dans un mode de réalisation, lesdites fibres de carbone (24) activées sont disposées à l'intérieur d'une rainure hélicoïdale (116) sur l'extérieur d'un bâtonnet fileté (114), ce dernier étant positionné à l'intérieur de la partie filtre (16) en fibres de carbone activées. Des quantités relativement petites de fibres de carbone (24) activées produisent la même réduction de constituants de fumée que de grandes quantités de matière (42) absorbant les particules.

Abstract: Almonds, other nuts, grains, dried or dehydrated fruits or vegetables, and other agricultural foodstuffs resting on a porous mesh conveyor belt (22, 54) pass continuously through a chamber (20, 60) in which they are contacted by a gaseous oxidizing agent at atmospheric pressure as the conveyor belt and food products move continuously through the chamber. In one embodiment, the chamber is disposed through a barrier (56) which isolates a raw product receiving region from downstream processing facilities to prevent cross-contamination downstream. In another embodiment, the chamber (20) is disposed through a barrier (34) which separates a husker (14) from a downstream Sheller (40) such that the shells are sanitized prior to releasing the nutmeats from the shells.  In the preferred embodiment, the gaseous oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide at a 1.8 mg/liter concentration which flows up through the belt vibrating the food products without scarring them as the belt conveys the food products through the chamber for a duration of about 15 seconds to achieve a 3 log reduction in human pathogens.
