Computational simulation was performed to analyze flow velocities and particle trajectories onto the surface of bag-shaped filters with a different permeability. When the permeability of a filter is lower than that of a low-efficient fabric bag-filter widely used, the distributions of flow velocities and particle trajectories on the filter surface were not different with decreasing the filter permeability. The distributions of streamlines and radial directional gas velocities were uniform on the filter surface except for the neighbors of the bottom edge and outlet of the filter. The particle trajectories onto filter surface were more densely distributed around the bottom edge of the filter, so that the particle number on the filter surface was maximized near the bottom edge and decreased in the direction of the filter outlet.

With the introduction of high-tech industries, these days textile products used as advanced materials of semiconductor, transport and medical fields. It was concerned with environmental problem in textile industry lately. So the problem is receiving careful study for high effectiveness and high efficiency of filter media made by nonwoven fabric to get rid of a pollutant. PET filter media produced from conventional methods can not precisely filtrate small particles, because conventional PET filter media has too large pore size. (omitted)

In this paper, an algorithm for suppressing acoustic noises contained in stethoscope sound is proposed and implemented in real-time using an embedded DSP system. Sound collected by stethoscope is down-sampled and band-pass filtered, and later an NLMS adaptive filter is used to cancel the acoustic noise induced from external noise sources. Also, the unpredictable impulsive noises due to fabric friction and instantaneous tapping are detected using the SD-ROM algorithm, and suppressed using an algorithm approximating the morphology filter. The proposed algorithm was tested using signals collected with a digital stethoscope mockup, and implemented on an ARM920T-based DSP system.

As the life quality is higher and higher, the requirement for the clean air in a subway station is strongly being increased. Therefore, many researches have been performed about that. Seoulmetro has taken many parts and has applied latest products for the higher level of air quality. However, by various kinds of facilities, it is hard to maintain the facilities and verify their performances. Therefore it is better to use qualified air filter system by the performance test at subway stations than to apply newly developed one without any verification. This study is focused on the performance verification for a panel structure, which consists of non-woven fabric, to suggest the standard of air filter systems.

The microstructures of nonwoven fabric with and without nanofibers used as a filter for air purification type mask were investigated using scanning electron microscope. Moreover, we proposed a new mask design which is effective in the improvement of the fine dust blocking property. When comparing to nonwoven fabrics of which an average diameter was $25{\mu}m$, the nanofibers formed by the electrospinning process had a tight mesh structure arranged irregularly with a relatively large specific surface area, which could be associated with their much smaller diameter ranging from 25 to 120 nm. Such a prominent structural feature at nanofibers led to mechanical adsorption of fine particles, resulting in enhancement of filtering behavior maintaining high permeability. In addition to the excellent performance of the mask filter, wearing the mask properly is expected to maximize the blocking property of fine dust. To meet such a requirement, a new mask design that can be closely attached to the face in order to effectively block fine dust entering the gap between the face and the mask.

Dust filter membranes play a crucial role in human life and various industries, as they contribute to several important aspects of human health, safety, and environmental protection. This study presents the development of a polysulfone@polyphenylene sulfide/polytetrafluoroethylene (PSf@PPS/ePTFE) composite dust filter membrane with excellent thermal stability and adhesion properties for high-temperature conditions. FT-IR analysis confirms successful impregnation of PSf adhesive onto PPS fabric and interaction with ePTFE support. FE-SEM images reveal improved fiber interconnection and adhesion with increased PSf concentration. PSf@PPS/ePTFE-5 exhibits the most suitable porous structure. The composite membrane demonstrates exceptional thermal stability up to 400℃. Peel resistance tests show sufficient adhesion for dust filtration, ensuring reliable performance under tough, high-temperature conditions without compromising air permeability. This membrane offers promising potential for industrial applications. Further optimizations and applications can be explored.

The purpose of this study is in development of effective filter-type polymer adsorbent for removal of pollutants from wastewater by UV irradiation graft polymerization. Photografting of acrylic acid (AA) on polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric using benzophenone (BP) as a photosensitizer was investigated. Inhibition of homopolymerization was achieved by adding various concentrations of $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, $CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ and Mohr's salt. As AA concentration was increased, the degree of grafting was increased as to a specific value and then decreased, and the effect of BP concentration showed the same tendency. It was also found that the degree of grafting increased with reaction time and reaction temperature. Addition of the polyfunctional monomers and $H_2SO_4$ to the grafting system accelerated the photografting. The melting temperature, molecular weight and breaking stress and breaking strain were decreased with the increase in the degree of grafting.

원심력집진기는 장치가 간단하지만 집진효율이 낮아 주로 여과포집진장치 및 전기집진장치의 전단에만 사용되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 여과포집진장치는 고효율의 집진성능을 가지고 있지만 유입되는 먼지의 농도를 감소시키기 위하여 전단에 원심력집진기를 설치하게 되므로 설치공간 및 동력비가 과다하게 소요되고 있으며, 높은 압력손실, 낮은 여과속도에 의한 장치면적 증가, 균일한 집진이 어려워 일부 여과포에 집중적인 부하가 걸리게 되는 단점 등을 가지고 있다. 전기집진장치의 경우 압력손실이 적고 대용량에 적용 가능하지만, 여과집진장치에 비해 집진효율이 낮고, 먼지의 종류 및 연료연소조건에 따라 집진효율이 크게 영향을 받는 단점을 가지고 있다.

Due to recent development in nanotechnology and increasing usage and production of nanomaterials, numerous studies related to environment, sanitation and safety handling of nanoparticle are being conducted. Since nanoparticles can be easily absorbed into human bodies through breathing process, based on their toxic substances and their large specific surface, these particles can cause serious health damage. Therefore, to reduce nanoparticle emissions, nanofiltration technology is becoming a serious issue. Filtration is a separation process during which a fluid passes through a barrier by removing the particles from the stream. Barrier filters can be made of various materials and shapes. One of the most common type of barrier filter is the fibrous filter. Fibrous filters are divided in two types: nonwoven and woven fabrics. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material, used as a base material for melt blown nonwoven fabric. In this study, we examined filtration property of KCl nanoparticles with a mean particle diameter of 75 nm using multilayer meltblown filter samples. These experiments verify that the penetration of nanoparticle in the filter correlate with pressure drop; the meltblown layer MB1 has the greatest effect on dust collection efficiency of the filter. Among all tested samples, dust collection efficiency of 2-layer filter was best. However, when considering the overall pressure drop and dust collection efficiency, the 4-layer filter has the highest quality factor for particles smaller than 70 nm.

This study was carried out to investigate the removal efficiency of an intermittently aerated nonwoven fabric filter bioreactor fed continuously with domestic sewage. The hydraulic retention time(HRT) of the reactor was reduced from 12 hrs to 10 hrs to 8 hrs during an experimental period of 17 months. In order to search an optimum aeration/nonaeration time ratio for the nitrogen removal at each HRT, the cycle times of 3, 2 and 1 hr were tested at the aeration/nonaeration time ratio of 1. Then, the aeration/nonaeration time ratio was changed from 50 min/70 min to 40 min/80 min to 30 min/90 min at the cycle time of 2 hr which showed the best nitrogen removal. During the experimental period, the effluent SS concentration was always below 1.2 mg/L with more than 95% of BOD removal efficiency. The highest nitrogen removal of 90.1% was observed at the aeration/nonaeration time ratio of 40 min/80 min at the HRT of 10 hr. Oxidation-reduction potential could represent the degree of the nitrification and denitrification reaction in the reactor.
