Aerosol Filtration Application Using Fibrous Media-An Industrial Perspective

Abstract

Abstract: Filtration of aerosol particles using non-woven fibrous media is a common practice for air cleaning. 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.

Key words: aerosol filtration, filter media, fiber technology, respirator, dust collection, engine in-take air cleaning, sustainability
