Effect of Solvent Exposure on the Filtration Performance of Electrostatically Charged Polypropylene Filter Media

Solvent-induced performance deterioration in corona charged polypropylene electret filter media was studied. Electret media, exposed to isopropanol (IPA) in the liquid phase, exhibited reduced filtration efficiency with negligible changes in the pressure drop across the media. Scanning electron micr...
