The present invention relates to vacuum cleaner filter bags composed of waste products of the textile industry. In addition, possibilities of use for waste products of the textile industry for vacuum cleaner filter bags are provided. The vacuum cleaner filter bag comprising a wall surrounding an inner space and composed of an air-permeable material and an inlet opening introduced into the wall, characterized in that the air-permeable material comprises at least one layer of a nonwoven that comprises fibrous and/or pulverulent recycled textile material and/or cotton linters, with the specific volume of the layer of the nonwoven amounting to at least 20 cm.sup.3/g.

A honeycomb structure body, which includes a honeycomb body and a skin layer, the honeycomb body including axially extending channels defined by a porous wall, wherein a radial path of a radial section of the honeycomb body from a central axis to the skin layer consists of a porous wall inner section and a porous wall outer section in sequence, an average wall thickness of inner porous walls provided in the porous wall inner section is smaller than an average wall thickness of outer porous walls provided in the porous wall outer section, and a length of the porous wall inner section in the radial path accounts for 71%-95%. The specific structure of the honeycomb structure body not only increases the strength of the honeycomb structure body, but also ensures good thermal shock resistance and small back pressure.

A fluid control device includes a support structure configured to be deployed to a selected location in a borehole, and a filtration medium disposed at the support structure and configured to filter a fluid, the filtration medium configured to be compacted from an initial shape to a compacted shape prior to deployment in the borehole. The filtration medium includes a first polymeric material configured to withstand a temperature at the selected location, the first polymeric material forming a porous structure including a plurality of fluid passages, and a second polymeric material including a shape memory polymer disposed within the fluid passages, the shape memory polymer configured to expand in the plurality of fluid passages and cause the filtration medium to expand in the borehole.

A filter media for implementation in a sugar purification process that allows for a significant increase in sorbent material while maintaining, and enhancing the decolorization and. hydraulic properties. The filter media incorporates sorbent material, fiber having specific properties that allows for small particle sorbent material without jeopardizing the hydraulic properties of the media, and an electrolyte. The sorbent material is an inorganic, an adsorption, or ion exchange media, or a metal-organic framework. The implementation of this filter media in a sugar purification process eliminates the need for a clarification step during refining while providing for enhanced decolorization and hydraulic properties for fluid flow.

A diffusiophoretic water filtration device includes a diffusiophoretic flow chamber having an inlet and an outlet, the flow chamber for receiving the colloidal suspension at the inlet from the inlet manifold, and passing the colloidal suspension between the inlet and at least one outlet in a flow direction; the flow chamber having a removable and reassemblable cover defining a boundary of the diffusiophoretic flow chamber.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for removing formaldehyde from indoor air. Some embodiments include flowing an indoor airflow over and/or through a solid supported amine filtering medium, such that, at least a portion of formaldehyde entrained in the indoor airflow is removed therefrom. Some other embodiments include systems having one or more fans for providing velocity to one and/or another airflows (e.g., airflows to/from a formaldehyde filter).

Filter media incorporating one or more filtration layers that include fibers including fiber portions orientated at a non-zero angle with respect to a surface of the filtration layer are provided. In some embodiments, at least a part of the fiber portions are positioned at an angle of at least 20 degrees (e.g., between 46 degrees and 90 degrees, or between 61 degrees and 90 degrees) with respect to a surface of the filtration layer or an outer or cover layer of the media. This orientation of fiber portions may result in an increased efficiency (e.g., average efficiency and/or initial efficiency) compared to similar filter media that do not include such oriented fiber portions.
