Fabrication of Cellulose Acetate Composite Filter. Electrospinning of cellulose acetate, property analysis and fabrication of PP/CA/PP composite filter

      Аннотация: Filtration is a commonly used process in almost all aspects of our human life. It is used in our homes for purification of water, or in the kitchen counter top, used for waste water treatment plants, used in various industrial processes and without filtration almost all fields in human life will be affected. Therefore it is an important process that has to be continually improved and accessed in order to continually provide efficient and cost viable methods of filtration. Presently, particulate pollution has been of major concern to the world due to its potential health risks and size of particles has been directly linked to be a cause of health problems. Due to these grievous effects of particulate pollution, especially fine particles, stringent regulations have been passed with the aim of controlling fine particulates (PM 2.5) emissions in industrial plants. Therefore, there is need to develop efficient air filters that are capable of eliminating PM 2.5 particles from industrial emissions. The study aimed at fabricate cellulose acetate nano-fibers sandwiched in between polypropylene non woven substrates for possible use in air filtration.
