Preparation and filtration performance of the circular weft-knitted seamless weft-insertion fabric materials

Abstract

Air particulate matter pollution has become a severe environment concern calling for filtration materials with great filtration performance. As the development of seamless forming technology, knitted filtration materials gradually show great potential. This study aimed to develop a novel kind of knitted seamless structure for filtration materials of filter bags with high production efficiency and excellent filtration performance. A new type of the circular weft-knitted seamless weft-insertion fabric (CKSW) filtration materials were developed on the modified circular knitting machine. This CKSW filtration materials consisting of the ground yarns, connection yarns and weft-insertion yarns, polyester full drawn yarns, and polyester draw texturing yarns with different yarn configurations were employed to realize series of CKSW samples. The polytetrafluoroethylene filaments with tourmaline particles were used to verify whether the static electric material produced an adsorption filtration effect on the CKSW filtration materials or not. After pretreatment, the filtration performance of the CKSW filtration materials was evaluated by analyzing its pore size, porosity, and filtration efficiency. Ultimately, the CKSW filtration materials with ground yarns and weft insertion yarns of draw texturing yarn and the connection yarns of full drawn yarn exhibited the most excellent filtration performance. The CKSW filtration materials show a high porosity of 87.14%, the pore size of 67.55 µm, and good filtration efficiency of 91.57% with the particles size of ≥ 5.0 µm. The successful fabrication of such knitted filtration materials may provide ideas for the development of filtration materials with new architecture mainly used as filter bags for baghouse.

Electrospun Poly(m-phenyleneisophthalamide)/TiO2 Nanofiber Membranes for Particulate Matter Removal under High-Temperature Conditions

“…Air filtration techniques are regarded as one of the most promising and effective solutions to address this issue. − Air filter materials which are often used in air filtration can be divided into woven fabric filter materials, knitted fabric filter materials, and nonwoven filter materials. − Nonwoven filter materials are one of the most widely used air filter materials. Nonwoven filter materials are mainly divided into needle-punched air filter materials, melt-blown air filter materials, and nanofiber air filter materials. , Conventional nonwoven air filter materials, such as needle-punched and melt-blown, exhibit outstanding efficiency in filtering submicron particles. , However, due to their relatively large internal fiber diameter and pore size, the removal efficiency of the fine particles such as PM2.5 and PM1.0 remains inadequate. , Though their removal efficiency of PM2.5 can be enhanced via electret treatment, the stable of their filtration performance is poor. , …”
