Presented by Seshadri S. Ramkumar, Texas Tech University
The need for efficient and cost effective filters is growing in significance with the unpredictable changes in climatic conditions world over. Additionally, recent pollution related problems in developing countries and major cities such as Beijing and Mumbai emphasize the need for personal and industrial filters.
This webinar will focus on this timely topic of filtration and endeavor to inform the participants on the basic principles behind filtration and types of filtration such as air and liquid. Recent advances in the field of filtration using nano, sub-micron, and microfilters will be discussed. Commonly used testing method(s) and instrumentation will also be addressed.
The overall goal of this webinar is to provide a basic and general understanding of the field for new entrants in the emerging area of filtration using fibrous substrates.
