Handbook of Nonwoven Filter Media

The Handbook of Nonwoven Filter Media provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of nonwoven filter media. It is one of the few books dealing exclusively with the subject of nonwoven filter media, and is primarily intended as a reference for people in the nonwovens industry (industry and academic researchers, technical and quality control personnel) and universities offering courses in filtration theory and practice and nonwovens technology. Coverage includes gas, liquid, and engine filtration, which are covered in such a way as to identify the types of filter media used in these applications. Theoretical presentation is based on flow through porous media, and is developed around a nonwovens or engineered fabrics orientation. In addition, for aerosol filtration, the book presents single fiber theory, developed for the filtration of particles from an air stream. * New sections on developing filter media technologies, including: Nanofiber technology, saline water treatment, new filter media structures, turbine air filtration, membrane filter technology, and new materials for filter media.* New chapter on sustainability issues in the nonwovens field, covering recycling/recyclability, energy consumption, and carbon footprint, in addition to other environmental indicators and effects* A comprehensive discussion of Computaional Flow Dynamics (CFD) by Dr George Chase, University of Akron, USA.
