Abstract:
A microbicidal filter system having superior drop pressure and low complexity is provided, as well as a method for producing the same. The system comprises a plurality of glass beads (60) having pores formed therebetween for the flow of air therethrough. The sintered glass beads (60) are coated in a transition metal oxide and water. An ultraviolet light source (62) is used to cause a photocatalytic reaction between the transition metal oxide and water. Free hydroxyl radicals with microbicidal properties are formed. Urethane foam (28a, 28b) may be inserted between the glass beads (12) before sintering in order to cause a bimodal pore size distribution, and particulates (30a, 30b, 30c) disposed on the glass beads (912) bay be added to alter surface activity.

Abstract:
A pleatable high efficiency non-woven, gas filtration media is provided. The media has an electrically charged air laid fibrous layer with a thickness between about 2 and 35 mils, and a wet laid fibrous layer having a thickness of between about 5 and about 35 mils. The combined layers have, (a) a thickness of between about 10 and about 50 mils, (b) a stiffness of between about 200 and about 3500 mgs, (c) a Fraizer of between about 10 and about 400 CFM, and (d) an α of at least 15.
Abstract:
A dimensionally stable permeable fluid treatment element, especially a filter element, suitable for the treatment of hot fluids, characterized by the following constituents: (a) inorganic solid particles with inner cavities, (b) a hardened water glass based binder, (c) whereby the solid particles forming the permeable fluid treatment element are held together by the binder.
Abstract:
Process for removing hydrocarbons from a body of water wherein the hydrocarbons are separated from the aqueous phase by selective permeation through a sintered porous filter surface-treated with at least one hydrophobic product, so as to collect the hydrocarbons and remove them from the water without using additional chemical products or products capable of absorbing the hydrocarbons. This allows the body of water to be remediated and at the same time recover the hydrocarbons spilled in a clean and substantially continuous manner. The filter preferably consists of a sintered inorganic material, such as for example a metallic material, a vitreous material, a ceramic material.
