Performance factors for filtration of air using cellulosic fiber-based media: A review

Cellulosic fiber reinforced cement-based composites: a review of recent research

In the last few years, an increase in interest has been given to the use of cellulose fibers as alternatives for conventional reinforcements in composites. The development of commercially viable environmentally friendly and healthy materials based on natural resources is on the rise. In this sense, cellulosic fibers as reinforcements for cement mortar composites constitute a very interesting op...

Pilot study of high-performance air filtration for classroom applications.

UNLABELLED A study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of three air purification systems in reducing the exposure of children to air contaminants inside nine classrooms of three Southern California schools. Continuous and integrated measurements were conducted to monitor the indoor and outdoor concentrations of ultrafine particles (UFPs), fine and coarse particulate matter (PM2.5 and...

Simple Filtration Using Porous Media

This work is a study of the movement of particles, one at a time, through a fixed filter. Various assumptions are made about particle and pore sizes, pore selection rules and filter configurations. This report is divided into three main sections: The first studies the filter by analyzing its layers both in a qualitative sense and by computational simulations. The next studies the filter through...

Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulosic Fiber

Cellulosic Fiber for Odor and Ph Control

A new approach to odor and pH control in medical and hygiene care applications relies on a treatment of absorbent fluff with selected enzyme inhibitors. Cellulose fiber was found to be a convenient carrier for some chemicals which modify the structure of an enzyme and/or block its active site. In an absorbent system exposed for example to body liquids containing urea, selected substances, when ...
