It has found wide applications in industries and our daily lives. This paper overviews some of these applications and provides an industrial perspective. It starts from discussing aerosol filtration theory, followed by a brief review on the advancement of filtration media. After that, filtration applications in respiratory protection, dust collection, and engine in-take air cleaning are elaborated. These are the areas that the author sees as the typical needed ones in China's fast pace economical development endeavor, where air filtration enables the protection of human health, environment and equipment for sustainability.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
