Nanofibers membranes were synthesized using electrospinning method for air filtration application. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with three different concentrations as the polymeric matrix of the nanofibers membrane is used. In the aerosol filtration, the pressure drop is one of the most important parameters, which is determined by the membrane characteristics. One of the parameters that influence the characteristics of membrane is concentration of polymer solution, in which it will determine the diameter of fiber. In this study, the relation between the PAN concentration and the pressure drop in air filtration test was examined. Three different concentrations of PAN solution (6, 9, and 12 wt.%) were employed under the same process parameters of electrospinning. The fiber diameter distribution of each membrane was measured from its scanning electron microscope (SEM) image. The three concentrations resulted in significant different effect to the pressure drop that proved the existing correlation between the polymer concentration and the air pressure drop.

Gas Turbine Compressor

It is well established that sub-micron ambient aerosol contamination of the intake air can produce fouling of the gas turbine compressor and result in a reduction of power output. Application of electrospun nanofibers of 0.25 micron diameter to a conventional filter media substrate has been demonstrated to improve the efficiency of gas turbine intake filters to remove sub-micron contaminate. The benefits of nanofiber filtration have been proven through use in gas turbine intake air filtration and other industrial and defense filtration applications for over twenty years. Recent advancements in electrospun nanofiber media technology have increased the filtering efficiency of gas turbine intake filters, with minimal differences in filter element pressure loss. These advances have also improved the durability of nanofibers in high temperature and high humidity applications. This paper discusses the laboratory testing that demonstrates these performance and durability improvements. A comparative field test program demonstrates the capability of nanofiber filtration to significantly reduce the fouling of gas turbine compressors.

Micron Diameter

Nanofiber is a broad phrase generally referring to a fiber with a diameter less than 1 micron. While glass fibers have existed in the sub-micron range for some time and polymeric meltblown fibers are just beginning to break the micron barrier, 0.25 micron diameter electrospun nanofibers have been manufactured and used commercially for air filtration applications for more than twenty years. Several value-added nonwoven applications, including filtration, barrier fabrics, wipes, personal care, medical and pharmaceutical applications may benefit from the interesting technical properties of commercially available nanofibers and nanofiber webs. This paper will discuss the electrospinning process for making nanofibers and nonwoven nanofiber webs from synthetic fiber-forming polymers. The resulting physical characteristics of the nanofiber webs will be discussed. In order to provide a useful context for the nonwovens industry, nanofiber webs will be compared to both melt-blown and spunbond nonwovens. The description and comparison of the properties should provide product designers in the nonwovens industry with the tools to generate product and applications ideas about new uses for nanofibers.
