Efficacy of 3-Layer Felt Masks Containing Polypropylene Membranes in Particle Filtration with SARS-CoV-2 Size Range

Background and Aim: The use of a mask is an effective measure to reduce the transmission of Covid-19. Today, due to the lack of N95 masks and medical masks with good performance, felt masks are widely used due to their ease of manufacture and low cost. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of 3-layer felt masks containing polypropylene membranes in filtering particle size in ...

Filtration of Nanoparticles with Dimethyldioctadecylammonium Bromide Treated Microporous Polypropylene Filters

Microporous polypropylene membrane filters are modified with a cationic surfactant, dimethyldioctadecylammoniumbromide (DDAB), to create a charged surface. Negatively charged nanoparticles can then be filtered by utilizing the electrostatic interaction between the charged particles and the polar heads of the surfactants adsorbed on the filters. The study focuses on particle adsorption and parti...

Development of Metallic Hot Gas Filters

Successful development of metallic filters with high temperature oxidation/corrosion resistance for fly ash capture is a key to enabling advanced coal combustion and power generation technologies. Compared to ceramic filters, metallic filters can offer increased resistance to impact and thermal fatigue, greatly improving filter reliability. A beneficial metallic filter structure, composed of a ...

Filtration artifacts caused by overloading membrane filters.

The conventional practice of using 0.45 or 0.40 microm membranes to distinguish between the particulate and dissolved phases in natural waters neglects the importance of colloids. Many of the colloids in natural waters pass through 0.45 or 0.40 microm membranes, but a significant fraction at the upper end of the colloidal particle size range is retained. Membrane clogging during filtration decr...
