Chemical treatment means the use of coagulants or flocculants to enhance the agglomeration of solid particles in the slurry to form larger

Particle Size and Distribution in Ambient Air The particle sizes in the ambient air are ranged from 1 nanometer to slightly more

Cigarette smoke is an important aerosol in the air filtration industry and research. It is an unwanted aerosol and therefore there are

Filtration is often reaching its limits in the industrial separation of biomass like cells or other micro organisms from e.g. fermentation broth.

“Filter Aids” is a group of inert materials that can be used in filtration pretreatment. There are two objectives related to the

Newly developed UPE membrane composites are compared with commercial PTFE membranes in a study being done at Lydall Filtration. UPE has specific

Protective garments for medical, civilian safety and military applications range from disposable lightweight fabrics to multilayered fabrics and laminated barrier materials, depending

Coalescence filtration using fibrous filters is a well-known approach for the separation of water-in-oil emulsions. Many factors have an effect on the

Ceramic nanofibers have many potential applications, such as hot gas filtration, gas adsorption, and electricity generation from engine exhaust gas. The high

Nanofibers are becoming an integral part of many advanced air filtration media thanks to their enormous specific surface area. The large surface

Zeta potential is a measure of charges carried by particles suspended in a liquid (mostly water). Most particles suspended in water and
