This paper proposes a new method for the modification of zeolite by microwave-assisted NH4Cl solution,
and develops a new humidity control material: Zeolite-based humidity composite control material (2#
ZBHCM). Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), FT-IR spectroscopy and N2 adsorption measurement are
adopted to characterize the microscope pore morphology and spectrum distribution analysis of natural
zeolite before and after modifications, respectively. In view of the humidity control characteristics of
the 2#ZBHCM, the author designs and constructs a humidity control test system, and conducts experimental
study of the humidity control performance of the material and its effect on indoor air temperature
and relative humidity when applied indoors. The experimental results show that: the 2#ZBHCM has an
unobvious effect on indoor temperature but a significant impact on indoor humidity; the relative indoor
air humidity varies in a smaller range if the wall is coated with the 2#ZBHCM on the inside instead of
ordinary plates, offering indoor staff with better thermal comfort.
