Abstract

Nonwoven fabrics are widely used as filter bags in dust collection facilities, which are industrial air pollution prevention facilities with high dust collection efficiency. The filter bag media is the most important factor that determines the performance of the pulse-jettype dust collection facility. In general, the materials used for filter bag media are polyester, nylon, and polypropylene fibers. Because of the effects of the operating temperature, meta-aramids and polyphenylene sulfide are used at a high temperature of around 200 ℃, while glass fiber, polyimide, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are used at an ultra-high temperature of approximately 260 ℃. Among these, PTFE membranes show/exhibit excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, non-adhesiveness, and filtration efficiency. Despite the advantages of these fibers, there are no studies on the preparation and properties of filter bag media mixed with meta-aramid staple and PTFE fibers. Therefore, in this study, expanded PTFE filaments were processed into staple fibers to enable carding; mixed with meta-aramid staple fibers by ratio to form the upper and lower webs; and then applied with a PTFE and aramid scrim. The filter bag media was manufactured through a needle punching process and finishing. The air permeability, pore size, tensile strength, filtration performance, and durability of the prepared mixed filter bag media were evaluated. The results show that the prepared low differential pressure filter bag media had improved heat resistance and durability, while maintaining the 100% dust collection efficiency of the existing aramid medium.
