BROAD SPECTRUM FILTER SYSTEM FOR FILTERING CONTAMINANTS FROM AIR OR OTHER GASES

摘要

Filter medium includes at least two kinds of filter media particles. A first plurality of filter media particles includes an extended surface area substrate comprising at least one transition metal impregnant. A second plurality of filter media particles includes an extended surface area substrate comprising a tertiary amine impregnant. In preferred embodiments, at least one and preferably both of the kinds of filter media particles is/are substantially free of chromium, and more preferably contain no detectable chromium. The filtering medium has very broad filtering capabilities. The filtering medium successfully achieves performance levels mandated both by applicable industrial filter approval specifications and by international military filter performance specifications.
