Through Pore Size Characterization of Filtration Materials

摘要

Due to their overall versatility of design and simplicity of operation, physical separations made by filtration media are becoming more and more attractive. Developing new materials for these applications requires ever evolving characterization techniques to best assess the properties of new and existing materials that equate to filter performance. In addition to defining the sizes of materials allowed to pass through the material, the through pore characteristics of a filter media affect operation parameters such as pressure drop and lifetime to regeneration or replacement.
