Abstract: A laundry washing appliance includes a drum that is rotationally operable within a tub. A sanitization mechanism delivers ozone into a processing space defined within the drum for sanitizing laundry within the drum. An ozone generator of the sanitization mechanism generates ozone gas wherein the sanitization mechanism includes an injection device that injects the ozone into the drum during a specific rotational operation of the drum.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a tub that is positioned within an outer cabinet. A processing space is defined within the tub. A fluid path delivers a process fluid through the tub for treating articles within the processing space. A micro-particle filter is positioned within the fluid path. The micro-particle filter separates micro-sized particles from the process fluid. A secondary flow mechanism delivers the micro-sized particles from the micro-particle filter to a removable collection chamber.

Abstract: A laundry appliance is provided and includes a cabinet, a tub disposed within the cabinet, and a drum disposed within the tub. The drum is rotatable within the tub and a fluid flow system disposed within the cabinet. The fluid flow system includes a separator configured to separate microplastics from fluid within the fluid flow system. The laundry appliance also includes a particulate reservoir disposed within the cabinet and operable between a static condition and a compressed condition. The particulate reservoir including a capsule disposed within the cabinet and configured to receive microplastics, a cap coupled to the capsule, and a nozzle extending outward from the capsule. The nozzle is configured to permit flow of the microplastics into the capsule in the static condition.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a tub positioned within an outer cabinet. A drum is rotationally operable within the tub. A fluid pump directs a process fluid through a fluid path that includes the tub. A fine-particle filter is positioned within the fluid path. The fine-particle filter separates microfibers from the process fluid to define captured microfibers.
