Abstract

The production of cement increases every year, which leads to the emission of dust/gas/ particulate matter. The emission of unfiltered dust would create a significant environmental impact. Hence, it is the responsibility of industries to control the emission of dust. Air filters and electrostatic precipitators (ESP) play a significant role in controlling pollutants. Synthetic filter media which are dangerous to our environment are widely used in most industries. The disposal of synthetic filters is an arduous task as the biodegradability of synthetic materials is poor. Hence, it is essential to develop an eco-friendly air filter material. In this paper, a new type of bag filter was designed by using natural sisal fiber as filtering media. The biodegradability of sisal fiber is better than the synthetic polyester media and also sisal fiber is less expensive. The natural fibers were coated with zinc oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles to improve the dust adsorption rate. Various tests were conducted as per standards to validate the performance of the filler media. The results were impressive. Hence, the proposed sisal fiber-based filter media can be used in cement industries for dust adsorption to minimize the environmental impact.

包覆金属氧化物纤维袋式除尘器吸附粉尘的研究

水泥的产量每年都在增加，这导致了灰尘/气体/颗粒物的排放。未经过滤的灰尘的排放将对环境产生重大影响。因此，控制粉尘排放是各行业的责任。空气过滤器和静电除尘器在控制污染物方面发挥着重要作用。合成过滤介质对我们的环境是危险的，广泛应用于大多数行业。由于合成材料的生物降解性较差，处理合成过滤器是一项艰巨的任务。因此，开发一种环保的空气过滤材料是至关重要的。本文以天然剑麻纤维为滤料，设计了一种新型袋式除尘器。剑麻纤维的生物降解性优于合成聚酯介质，而且剑麻纤维价格较低。在天然纤维上涂覆氧化锌和氧化铁纳米颗粒，以提高粉尘吸附率。根据标准进行了各种测试，以验证填充介质的性能。结果令人印象深刻。因此，所提出的剑麻纤维基过滤介质可用于水泥工业中的粉尘吸附，以最大限度地减少对环境的影响。

期刊介绍： Fibers (ISSN 2079-6439) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes and short communications on the materials science and all other empirical and theoretical studies of fibers, providing a forum for integrating fiber research across many disciplines. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. The following topics are relevant and within the scope of this journal: -textile fibers -natural fibers and biological microfibrils -metallic fibers -optic fibers -carbon fibers -silicon carbide fibers -fiberglass -mineral fibers -cellulose fibers -polymer fibers -microfibers, nanofibers and nanotubes -new processing methods for fibers -chemistry of fiber materials -physical properties of fibers -exposure to and toxicology of fibers -biokinetics of fibers -the diversity of fiber origins
