Table of Contents Abstract Polypropylene (PP)-based filtration medium has attained a prominent position in air and liquid filtration industries due to its unique combination of mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties. Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer that, in addition to its low density, exhibits high chemical resistance to most acids, bases, and aliphatic hydrocarbons, along […]

Abstract Air filtration plays a vital role across various domains, including industrial, residential, medical, and respiratory applications. Mechanical filter media, such as HEPA and ULPA filters made of multilayer fiberglass and nanofibers, enable high-efficiency removal of fine airborne particles. Electrostatic filters capture particles using electrical charge without requiring physical media. Hybrid filters combine mechanical and […]

Table of Contents In this article, the filtration behavior of two common types of woven and non-woven fabric media with different structures has been investigated. Since the investigation of the filtration behavior requires a correct understanding of the production process of these media, the production processes are also briefly mentioned. In the case of non-woven […]

Table of Contents Introduction Compressed air filtration is a key element in the production and utilization of compressed air. By removing contaminants such as solid particles, moisture, oil, and other pollutants from the air stream, it ensures access to high-quality compressed air with minimal contamination. One of the primary contaminants in compressed air is oil. […]

Nanotechnologists have discovered new filtering media for effective filtrations. The nanofiber-based filtering media, made up of fibers of diameter ranging from 100 to 1000 nm, can be conveniently produced by electrospinning technique. This article addresses the current state of the art in filters by using nanofibrous filtering media. These filtering media are being surface-modified to […]

Abstract Microfiltration (MF) is one of the oldest and most widely applied pressure-driven membrane processes, based on the physical separation of particles, microorganisms, and colloids in the size range of 0.1–10 μm. Due to its relatively low operating pressure, ease of operation, and high separation efficiency, MF has found extensive applications in water treatment, food […]

Absrtact Membrane filtration technology introduces a novel separation approach that cannot be achieved using conventional filter media. Membranes—classified into microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis—play a critical role in various industrial applications, including petrochemical processes, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. These membranes, manufactured from cellulosic, polymeric, or ceramic materials, enable separation at molecular and […]
