Currently there is a wide variety of new building materials used for insulation, waterproofing and rehabilitation, each contributing in a specific way to constructions improvement during their service life. In time, every building is subjected to degr... Autori: Alexandra Alisa Găină ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=27863
VARIETY BEHAVIORS OF DEPTH AND SURFACE FILTER MEDIA WITH THE AGES FOR PLEATED FILTER CARTRIDGES
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 17 › Nr. 11 The aim of this study is to investigate a variety behaviors of two kinds of media (multiple-layer structures and multiple-layer structures combined with surface treatment, such as finer fibers) with ages using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and to determine the effect of fabric microstructures on cake formation and pulse cleaning. The results show that fine particles are readily deposited on the surface and inside depth filter medium. The fine fibers with diameters (~0.08 microns, this val...
