DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0052] In order to make the present invention better understood, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with drawings and examples; however, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0053]
[0054] The nano fine filter layer A has a grid structure composed of a plane matrix fiber layer D and cones E, wherein the fibers between the point of the cone E and the grid matrix fiber layer D form an oriented arrangement from the point to the matrix fiber layer D, the cone angle α of the cone E being 10° to 70°, the distance between the cone points being 2-20 mm; the surface of the nano fine filter layer A is charged or uncharged.
[0055] The micron support primary filter layer B is composed of a micron fiber layer with a crimped structure, wherein the micron fibers in the fiber layer form an angle β (10° to 50°) with the horizontal plane of the layer, and have a Z-shaped, S-shaped, spiral or wavy crimped structure.
[0056] Nano materials are used to prepare the fine filter layer, and micron materials are used to prepare the support primary filter layer, and then the nano fine filter layer, the micron support primary filter layer and the protective surface layer are combined by the hot air bonding technology to obtain a high-efficiency low-resistance filter medium material for air filtration.
[0057] In the micro gradient filter material of high-efficiency low-resistance micron-nano fibers of the present invention, the protective surface layer is a protective layer, the micron support primary filter layer is a primary filter layer and a dust-holding layer, and the nano fiber layer is a fine filter layer.
[0058] The micro gradient filter material of the high-efficiency low-resistance micron-nano fibers of the present invention is a high-efficiency low-resistance filter medium material with a three-dimensional structure; the nano fine filter layer is a nano fiber layer with a pointed cone stacked structure; the support filter layer is composed of micron fibers, and forms a gradient perpendicular to the surface layer of the filter material, with the gradient not having an obvious layered gradient but a partial overlap.
[0059] The grid structure in the template is formed by the distribution of cones at a certain density on the bottom plate, while the grid structure in the nano fine filter layer is given by the template with the grid structure.
Example 1
[0060] Drying PVA (M.sub.w=2.5×10.sup.5 g/mol) in vacuum (50 □, 12 h), then adding deionized water as a solvent, and stirring for 2 h after heating to 80° C. to obtain a uniform PVA solution with a mass concentration of 10%, and finally letting the PVA solution stand for defoaming for 4 h.
[0061] As shown in
[0062] In the micron support primary filter layer B, the non-woven fabric material was obtained from the polylactic acid fibers with a spiral structure as shown in
[0063] In forming, the non-woven fabric material, obtained from the polylactic acid fibers with a spiral structure by needle punching, was provided on the receiving plate as shown in
[0064] The TSI 8130 automatic filter material tester of TSI company of USA was used to test the filtration performance of the filter material; when the pressure drop was 110 Pa, the filtration efficiency of the charged composite filter medium material obtained in this example was 99.99% for the NaCl aerosol with a mass median diameter of 0.26 μm; for the PAN microsphere/nano fiber composite membrane with a three-dimensional cavity structure also prepared by free surface electrospinning, the pressure drop was 126.7 Pa when the filtration efficiency reached 99.99% (Gao H, Yang Y, Akampumuza O, et al. Low filtration resistance three-dimensional composite membrane fabricated via free surface electrospinning for effective PM2.5 capture[J]. Environmental Science Nano, 2017, 4(4)). This showed that the micron support primary filter layer in the filter material had an increased fluffiness of the filter material and a stronger effect of reducing the pressure drop compared with the microsphere/nano fiber composite filter layer.
[0065] With the continuous filter loading time of the filter material of the present invention being 30 min, when the micron support primary filter layer B was on the windward side, the pressure drop increased from 110 Pa to 369 Pa; when the nano fine filter layer A was on the windward side, the pressure drop increased from 110 Pa to 581 Pa. This showed that the micron support primary filter layer of the micron-nano fiber filter material with a gradient structure could greatly reduce the rate of resistance rise and had a longer service life.
[0066] Compared with the composite gradient filter material of the prior art, this composite gradient filter medium material had a simple preparation process, high efficiency, and low resistance; the micron-nano filter layer with a 3D structure formed by the combination of a micron fiber layer with a crimped structure and a nano fiber layer containing a pointed cone stacking structure increased the chance of inertial collision between the fiber and the airflow, resulting in an increase in the probability of particles being intercepted by the filter components. In addition, because the direction of the micron fibers was at a certain angle with the direction of the airflow, the resistance of the filter material to directly intercept particles was reduced; the three-dimensional structure provided a pore structure, which changed the flow direction of the airflow; the fluffier micron fiber filter layer structure could accommodate more filtered particles, thus greatly reducing the filtration resistance of the filter material.
