A wash hood for a baffle-type grease filter and a pollution control system for cleaning baffle-type grease filters outside or inside without contaminating the environment or soaking the operator with cleaning solution. The hood includes ridges on the inside for supporting the filters at an angle to a rear wall. A channel around the ridges guides the effluent towards a drain hole. A separator box with a filter connected to the drain hole separates the grease from the water such that the water may be discharged into a mop sink connected to a sanitary sewer system.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to a fire-resistant filter and methods of making and using the same. A filter includes a fibrous web or sheet comprising fire-resistant fibers, the fire-resistant fibers comprising oxidized polyacrylonitrile (OPAN), flame-retardant (FR) rayon, or a combination thereof.

A permeable material that allows air to easily pass through the interstices in any direction. The permeable material may be a cloth, a mesh, latex, rubber, or any polymer. The material is saturated with a water and/or alcohol based solution containing either a cationic or anionic agent, a disinfecting agent, and a biocide. The solvent on the permeable material is permitted to evaporate. What remains on the permeable material is the cationic or anionic agent and the biocide. This coated material is now surrounded by an electrostatic field. The electrostatically charged material attracts oppositely charged particles and repels similarly charged particles. The particles that contain living organisms are inactivated by the biocide. The formulations have been shown to have efficacy against rhinovirus causing colds, influenza and corona viruses causing diseases such as swine flu and COVID-19, as well as other harmful airborne microscopic and sub-microscopic particles. The material may be formed into products such as face masks, unitary filters, and filtration devices. Users of these masks might want to periodically spray or otherwise apply the solution to the mask to restore its disinfecting, filtration, and biocidic properties. This would also render normally disposable cloth or surgical face masks reusable.

Provided is a fiber structure in which an extra-fine fiber layer and a substrate layer are integrated deeply. The fiber structure includes an extra-fine fiber layer 10 spreading in a plane direction, and a substrate layer 20 adjoining the extra-fine fiber layer, wherein the extra-fine fiber layer 10 includes extra-fine fibers having a number average single fiber diameter of 5 μm or less; the substrate layer 20 includes non-extra-fine fibers having a number average single fiber diameter of 7 μm or more; and in a cross section along a thickness direction of the fiber structure, the substrate layer 20 contains mixture portions 12 in each of which some of the extra-fine fibers pushed between the non-extra-fine fibers are widened in a crosswise direction.

Provided is an face mask comprising: (a) a mask body configured to cover at least wearer's mouth and nose; and (b) a fastener to hold the mask in place on the wearer; wherein the mask body includes (i) an air-permeable outer layer preferably comprising a hydrophobic material (e.g. water-repelling fibers), (ii) an inner layer located on a wearer's side when the mask is worn, and (iii) a graphene foam layer disposed in the mask body between the outer layer and the inner layer or embedded (totally or partially) in the outer layer or the inner layer. The foam pore wall graphene surfaces may be deposited with an antiviral or anti-bacteria compound.

Provided is an face mask comprising: (a) a mask body configured to cover at least wearer's mouth and nose; and (b) a fastener to hold the mask in place on the wearer; wherein the mask body includes (i) an air-permeable outer layer preferably comprising a hydrophobic material (e.g. water-repelling fibers), (ii) an inner layer located on a wearer's side when the mask is worn, and (iii) a graphene layer disposed in the mask body, wherein the graphene layer comprises a plurality of discrete single-layer or few-layer graphene sheets selected from pristine graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphene fluoride, graphene chloride, graphene bromide, graphene iodide, hydrogenated graphene, nitrogenated graphene, doped graphene, chemically functionalized graphene, or a combination thereof. The graphene layer may be disposed between the outer layer and the inner layer or embedded (totally or partially) in the outer layer or the inner layer.

A filter material for a filter insert of a fuel filter for separating solid particles and water droplets from fuel. The filter material comprises a particle filter medium layer through which the fuel flows first during use and at least one coalescer medium layer which lies on the particle filter medium layer on the outflow side. At least one coalescer medium layer is gradient-free in the flow direction with respect to the geometrical structure and/or physical properties and/or chemical properties of the layers. The at least one coalescer medium layer has a thickness measured in the flow direction which is maximally as large as the thickness of the particle filter medium layer measured in the flow direction.
