Increase of the filtration efficiency of ceramic deep bed filters by tailoring of adhesion mechanism (B01)

• Subject Area: Chemical and Thermal Process Engineering
• Term: from 2011 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 169148856

The third funding period focuses on the effect of the surface modification by the formation of the in-situ layer on the nanobubble population, on the impact of generated and introduced microbubbles on the formation, properties and process behavior of hetero-coagulates and the consequences of these phenomena for the filtration behavior. Particle interactions during sintering will be further characterized applying HT-AFM. The combination of filtration with the results of the agglomeration kinetics, will extend the existing separation model. The designed encapsulated precoat-filter will be subject of a transfer project.
