Filtration

759
Filtration is a physical separation process that involves passing a suspension through a porous medium to separate solids from fluids. During filtration, solids collect on the porous medium while liquids, also collectively known as the filtrate, pass through. The filtration medium is selected based on the filtration purpose, quantity, and nature of the precipitate. The general criteria for a suitable filtering medium are that it is inert, mechanically strong, nonabsorbent toward dissolved...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Particulate matter (PM) air pollution poses significant risks to public health and the environment.
  • Current nonwoven filters face challenges in efficiency, energy consumption, and waste generation.
  • There is a need for advanced filtration materials that are both high-performance and sustainable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an ultralight composite filter with a vertical ternary spatial network (TSN) structure.
  • To achieve high-efficiency removal of fine particulate matter (PM0.3).
  • To enhance filter sustainability through reduced material usage, energy-efficient regeneration, and improved comfort.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a TSN filter using a hybrid layer of microspheres and superfine nanofibers sandwiched between nanofiber scaffolds.
  • Utilizing scalable one-step free surface electrospinning technology for mass production.
  • Characterization of filter properties including porosity, areal density, airflow resistance, breathability, and infrared transmittance.

Main Results:

  • The TSN filter achieved ≥99.92% removal of PM0.3 with high porosity (≈85%) and ultralow areal density (<1 g m-2).
  • Significant material savings (≈98%) and reduced fabrication time (99.4%) were realized.
  • The filter demonstrated excellent breathability (>80 mm s⁻¹) and infrared transmittance (>85%), indicating superior wearing comfort.
  • Scalable mass production at 60 meters per hour was verified.

Conclusions:

  • The developed TSN filter offers a high-performance, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for air filtration.
  • Structural regulation of nanofiber materials is a viable strategy for designing advanced filter media.
  • The technology is applicable to diverse areas such as window screens, respiratory protection, and dust collection.
