Development and evaluation of acid-resistant HEPA filter media

Creators

Description

The purpose of this study was to extend the life of HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters by developing a more acid-resistant filter media. HEPA filter media were fabricated from combinations of fiberglass and acid-resistant fibers (asbestos, Nomex, Kevlar) and then subjected to an acid environment. Filtering performance (filtering efficiency and air-flow resistance) of media containing different amounts of Nomex and Kevlar was monitored as a function of exposure time and compared to 5% asbestos and 100% glass media.
