We report on the development of a method to simulate from first principles the particle filtration efficiency of filters that are composed of structured porous media. We assume that the ratio of particle density to the fluid density is high. We concentrate on the motion of the particles in a laminar flow and quantify the role of inertial effects on the filtration of an ensemble of particles. We...

This concern also applies to filter components and housings. Pall recognizes the importance of proper material selection, cleanliness standards, housing surface preparation, and specialized manufacturing processes with regard to product quality. Our knowledge allowed us to introduce practices that have become industry standards. All Pall Gaskleen filter assemblies are packaged in special double...

the microfiltration 0.2 µm cellulose acetate (ca) membrane was modified by embedding antibacterial silver nano-particles in the membrane pores. this novel technique was developed to enhance the capability of the microfiltration membrane for removing microorganism including bacteria. the prepared membrane was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy-dispersive x-ray spectro...

BACKGROUND Water filtration units have been faced problems in water turbidity removal related to their media, which is determined by qualitative indices. Moreover, Current qualitative indices such as turbidity and escaping particle number could not precisely determine the efficiency of the media in water filtration, so defining new indices is essential. In this study, the efficiency of Anthraci...

Among various devices for removing submicrometer particles from a gas stream, fibrous filters have the advantages of providing high collection efficiencies at low-pressure drop. Even in the absence of electrostatic forces, a fibrous filter captures particles efficiently by inertial impaction, interception, and convective Brownian diffusion. Application of electrostatic forces can significantly ...

In the field of aerosol filtration, electrostatic effects are relatively unexplored but absolutely decisive in many applications (Rengasamy, 2009). It is possible to adjust and improve the particle deposition for synthetic filter materials to increase the initial filtration efficiency. E.g. it is used in respiratory protective devices, cabin air filters or air conditioning systems. The measurem...

The membrane filtration with inside-out dead-end driven UF-/MF- capillary membranes is an effective process for particle removal in water treatment. Its industrial application increased in the last decade exponentially. To date, the research activities in this field were aimed first of all at the analysis of filtration phenomena disregarding the influence of backwash on the operation parameters...
