In this study design and fabrication of coronavirus filter based on the cellulose and carbon nanomaterials have been investigated. Particulate matter (PM) corona virus has attracted a lot of attention due to its great threat to human health. Nanoparticles are intertwined with fibers and form highly porous air filter paper. The structure of the filter has been characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. In addition, by optimization with activated carbon (AC) nanoparticles, the prepared AC air filter paper shows a high removal efficiency of more than 95% for PM 100 nm. More importantly, this filter shows less pressure drop and less thickness. This filter has a positive effect on the prevention of this disease during the coronavirus epidemic and show high absorption efficiency air filter for PM more than 100 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
