Development and Evaluation of Nano Electret Filters for Household Water Treatment

Abstract:

Korea is expected to one of countries with water shortages, and thus must secure high-quality water resources and strictly maintain them. However, water is frequently polluted and there is still a lack of water treatment technologies and facilities to provide safe water. To remove pollutants, membrane-based methods are being widely used for water treatment. It needs high pressure and energy to capture the pollutants by pore size. In this study, electrostatic force is used to increase the efficiency of filtration and decrease pressure loss. By electro spinning, nanoelectret filter is made with 100 nm in diameter and positive charge potential. Surface potential is measured by electrostatic voltmeter system with nanoelectret filter by three conditions of applied voltage. For the filtration performance, filtration efficiency is measured by filter test system with 0.5 and 1.0 PSL. Also pressure loss of nanoelectret filter is measured by comparing PC membrane.
