The difference between Quartz filter and PTFE filter in monitoring PM10 and anion ion concentration has been studied. The mean PM10, SO42- concentrations of Quartz filters were higher than those of PTFT filters, which had statistically significant (P〈0.05). The mean PM 10 concentration of Quartz filter was almost 1.5 times of that of PTFE filter. However, there were no statistically significant among CI, NO3-, PO43 comparison of the two kinds filters (P〉0.05). We should be careful when selecting filter to do research about PM10 and anion ion concentration.展开更多

Filtration experiments were performed at 60 ℃, 500 rpm and different transmembrane pressures using four commercial membranes: MF, PVDF 0.2 μm; NF, PES 300, 500 and 1000 Da. The process effectiveness was evaluated through the permeate flux and the total solids (TS) concentration in the retentate. Because the retention of TS and permeate fluxes were very similar for MF, PVDF-0.2 membrane at 0.10 MPa was selected because of its lower power consumption. The best conditions tested for NF were the following: PES-1000 at 3.50 MPa with a flux of 183.2 kg/m^2 h at a volume reduction factor (VRF) of 2, under which 68% of solids were retained. For the MF + NF, a PES-1000 at 3.50 MPa was selected because a higher permeate flux was achieved at a VRF of 4, and PES-500 at 3.50 MPa because a higher retention of TS was achieved compared to the other experiments. A single NF resulted in a retentate concentration that was almost twice as high as the hybrid MF and NF process, allowing reduced costs in its transportation from distilleries to distant areas.展开更多

Cake vertical profile along filter medium versus filtration velocity (ranging from 3 to 7cm/s), particle concentration (ranging from 40 to 120g/m^3) and particle areal mass to filter (ranging from 0.57 to 2.86 kg/m^2), was researched by experiments and modeling. The filtration was carried through by a plane filter media (Material: Terylene felt, Thickness: 1.8mm) covered on a framework which was fixed in a filter. During filtration, the cake thickness was measured up and down by a mobile microscope and a camera controlled by a PC. The results showed that the cake vertical profile accord with a peak function. The peak amplitude A, center displacement xc, the shape parameters W of the peak function was greatly depended on filtration velocity and particle areal mass to filter, whereas slightly on particle concentration. The relationships between the three coefficients (peak amplitude A, center displacement xc, the shape parameters W) and filtration velocity, areal mass to filter, particle concentration were associated as equations, based on which pressure drop model was deduced. The peak function and pressure drop model were verified with experimental data.展开更多

The main improvement consists of the different routes of KCl solution droplets. In traditional generators, the solution droplets travel through one cylinder; while in the case analyzed here, after spray atomization, the droplets travel through two cylinders in series. The first cylinder was fed with warm air and the second one with cold air. In such way, the complete evaporation of the water from the droplets can be ensured. The influencing factors of the generated aerosol size distribution were investigated. The data measured show that the concentration of generated aerosol becomes higher both increasing the flow rate of the KCI solution injected in the first cylinder and increasing the concentration in the solution. The temperature of solution influences mainly the generation of smaller KCI particles (0,3-3 μm). The amount of hot air used in the generation process increases the concentration of larger KC1 particles (〉3 μm) while cold air does not have the same effect. The aerosol generator is able to generate KC1 aerosol stably. This instrument can be used effectively for testing air filters for automotive.展开更多

In this study, based on orthogonal tests, the effect of the ratio of material to water, stirring time and stirring speed on the viscosity, filtration property, water retention and pumpability of the FG were studied. The results indicate that the stirring speed, ratio of material to water and stirring time in turn increased the viscosity and the ratio of material to water, stirring time and stirring speed enhanced the filtration property and water retention. The FG pumps smoothly and achieves the optimal state of high water retention, low fluid loss and low viscosity when the ratio of material to water is 1:10, the stirring speed is 800 r/min, and the stirring time is 12 min. The field test results indicate that, after using the FG, the average drainage gas concentration increases by 25.9% and 27.6g and the average negative pressure of extraction increases by 2.7 kPa and 3.5 kPa com- pared with expansive cement and polyurethane, respectively.展开更多

These metals are present in water as filterable and particulate metals. These metals were found to bioaccumulate in prawn samples along Veifa stretch of the Angabanga River. The analytical results showed that As as particulate metal was high in concentration at 86 μg·g^-1 and Pb as filterable metal was high in concentration at 12 μg·g^-1. The metals Pb and As also accumulated in prawns along the Veifa stretch but were within recommended toxic metal standards.展开更多

The size of particles in atmospheric aerosol was primarily distributed in the range of less than 1 pm. It showed different changes with the mass concentrations of particulate matters with an aerodynamic diameter of 〈2.5 pm (PM2.5) for different sizes of fine particles. The amount of ultrafine particles (less than about 60 nm) decreased while the larger ones (〉60 nm) increased along with the mass concentration of PM2.5 in atmospheric aerosol. This was be- cause of the formation of the secondary atmospheric aerosol. The polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers were prepared for filtering the aerosol by electrospinning. PLA nanofiber mats were used as the middle layer to design the composite filter membranes. Atmospheric aerosol was used as dust source in the filtration test. The results showed that the filtration efficiency of the com- posite filter media increased along with the thickness of nanofiber mats, which was controlled by the collection time during electrospinning. Filtration efficiency can be improved obviously by compositing with a thin layer of nanofibers.展开更多

Experiments are conducted to purify solid CO2 particles from liquid nitrogen. Temperature and pressure in the upstream and downstream of the filter, and the flow rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas and liquid nitrogen are measured, with the gas content of filtrate analyzed using a CO2 concentration detector. It is illustrated that after filtration, the purity of liquid nitrogen (volume fraction) is higher than 99.99%, which means that the volume fraction of CO2 is less than 0.01%. Effects of operation parameters on the performance of the filter, such as pressure drop Ap and filtration efficiency E are analyzed quantitatively. The present conclusions will provide a guideline to the optimumal design and operation of sintered metallic wire-mesh filter in cryogenic application.展开更多
