ABSORBENT AND/OR ADSORPTIVE FILTER MEDIA

摘要

Filter media suitable for various applications and related components, systems, and methods associated therewith are described. The filter media may include a composite structure having a mixture comprising fibrillated fibers (e.g., lyocell) and functional particles. The filter media may exhibit favorable absorption and/or adsorption characteristics. A method of preparing a filter media is provided. The method comprises mixing a plurality of fibrillated fibers and functional particles together to form a mixture comprising fibers and particles; applying a first electrostatic charge to the mixture; adding a binder material to the mixture, the binder material having a second electrostatic charge opposite in polarity from the first electrostatic charge; and forming the filter media from the mixture.
