Filter media for treating contaminated water is produced from aluminum-based water treatment residuals (Al-WTR) commonly produced as a byproduct of water treatment plants. By processing the residuals into small granules, a superior green sorbent product is obtained with the functionality to adsorb contaminants, such as metals and certain nutrients in water. Biopolymers can be incorporated into the filter media to further enhance functionality and hydraulic characters.

Provided is a titanium filter for syringes and its manufacturing method, more particularly, a titanium filter for syringes which has an improved filtering power and high safety and its manufacturing method. The titanium filter for syringes comprises: a first body having a hollow hole formed on the inner side thereof; and a second body configured to extend in the longitudinal direction of the first body and to cover one side of the hollow hole, wherein the first body and the second body are composed of titanium powders.

According to one embodiment, a filter includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer includes a first resin provided with a plurality of holes. The first layer includes a first face. At least a part of the plurality of holes reaches the first face. The second layer includes a second resin. The second resin blocks at least a part of the plurality of holes reaching the first face.

A filter media suitable for use in filtering fluids is provided. The filter media comprises a filtration particle, said filtration particle having an Al.sub.2O.sub.3 content of from 15 wt % to 70 wt % and a SiO.sub.2 content of less than 70 wt % based on the weight of the particle.

Laminated articles are provided including a porous fibrous nonwoven matrix and guanidine-functionalized metal silicate particles enmeshed within the porous fibrous nonwoven matrix. The laminated articles further include a first substrate and a second substrate sealed to the first substrate. Methods of making laminated articles and methods of using laminated articles are also provided.

An active force electric field anti-pathogenic fabric is used to remove pathogens from an environment surrounding the fabric. The fabric can be woven into daily clothing items, personal protective equipment, or other clothing items typically worn by a user. The fabric includes a current-carrying mesh that is coated with active materials used to remove pathogens from the air. As such, the fabric operates as an anti-pathogenic material that is used to remove harmful particles from an area surrounding a user. Accordingly, microorganisms, smoke particles, industrial pollutants, odor molecules, allergens are structurally disassociated into harmless protein fragments and natural molecules when encountering the purifying agents in the fabric.

An antibacterial filter, a method for manufacturing the filter, and an air purifier comprising the filter. The antibacterial filter contains a specific range of active copper particles bound to the surface of fibers, and thus can effectively prevent microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, harmful to the human body, from proliferating on or contaminating the filter surface, and further improve antibacterial performance and sustained antibacterial performance. Additionally, when the antimicrobial filter is applied to an air purifier, it is possible to supply purified air and, at the same time, further improve the durability and lifetime characteristics of the filter.

The disclosure generally relates to filters, methods, and systems for filtering particulates from the exhaust of internal combustion engines such as gasoline direct injection engines and methods of preparing particulate filters.

Filters that include non-horizontal filter cavities, such as cavities that are vertically, diagonally, or otherwise non-horizontally with respect to a filter block.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a metallized open-cell foam or fibrous substrate, wherein the method comprises: (A) providing an open-cell foam or fibrous substrate, wherein the open-cell foam or fibrous substrate contains a polymer comprising heteroatom-containing moieties within the bulk of the open-cell foam or fibrous substrate or as a coating on the open-cell foam or fibrous substrate, wherein the polymer comprising heteroatom-containing moieties is selected from polyvinylpyridine, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyallylamine, polyethylene oxide, polyethylene imine, polyethylene sulfide and copolymers or blends thereof; (B) contacting the open-cell foam or fibrous substrate with nanoparticles of a first metal to provide a nanoparticle coated open-cell foam or fibrous substrate; and (C) contacting the nanoparticle coated open-cell foam or fibrous substrate with a solution comprising a salt of a second metal and a reducing agent to provide the metallized open-cell foam or fibrous substrate having a layer of the second metal on the nanoparticle coated open-cell foam or fibrous substrate.
