Slotted pores improve microfiltration and enable sub-sieve fractionation

摘要

Also at Filtech (see item above),Micropore Technologies Ltd.(Loughborough,U.K.;edlinks.che.com/4822-535) launched VibraFil-ter,al microfiltration technology that uses an osculating membrane with slotted pores.Because of the slotted design,filtered particles only make contact with the membrane at two points,so the pores are less prone to clogging and easier to remove compared to surface filters with circular pores,says managing director Richard Holdich.
