Structural Properties and Filtration Performance of Melt Brown Electret and Biocide Loaded Air Filters

9415329 Dever这是一个奖项，以支持熔喷驻极体和杀菌剂加载空气过滤器的测量和理论过滤性能之间的关系的初步工作，并收集数据，将提供一个更全面的研究这一概念的基础。 在这个项目中，研究人员计划将静电机制纳入过滤理论，以解释驻极体的去除，并将扩散，拦截和惯性冲击机制纳入过滤器理论，以解释高速下的颗粒反弹。 导致该奖项的提案是根据NSF 93-130《妇女研究规划赠款》提交的。 结果预计将提供的基础上，提出的概念，可以评估其潜在的使用在设计中的空气过滤器，从室内空气中去除环境污染物，一个问题的电流和越来越多的关注。 ***

9415329 Dever This is an award to support preliminary work on the relationships between the measured and theoretical filtration properties of melt blown electret and biocide loaded air filters and to collect data that will provide the basis for a more comprehensive study of this concept. In this project, the investigator plans on incorporating the electrostatic mechanism into the filtration theory to account for removal by the electrets and incorporate diffusion, interception and inertial impaction mechanisms into the filter theory to account for particle bounce at high velocities. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in response to NSF 93-130, Research Planning Grants for Women. Results are expected to provide the basis upon which the concept proposed can be evaluated for its potential use in design of air-filters for removing environmental pollutants from indoor air, a matter of current and growing concern. ***
