Airborne particulate matter (PM) pollution has become a serious environmental problem. Thus, there is a need for the development of air filters with satisfactory overall performance. In this paper, we develop a kind of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) based air filter with high strength, which has not only high filtration efficiency (about 99%) but also good air permeability (the pressure drop is only 45Pa). Especially after long-term application, the pression drop of β-cyclodextrin based was less than half of the commercial air-filter. Additionally, the material can capture the toxic gasous chemicals (e.g. formaldehyde and SO). The introduction of β-CD is supposed to be the key factor for improvement of air filter.
空气中的颗粒物(PM)污染已经成为一个严重的环境问题。因此,开发具有满意整体性能的空气过滤器是十分必要的。在本文中,我们开发了一种基于β-环糊精(β-CD)的空气过滤器,它具有高强度,不仅过滤效率高(约 99%),而且空气通透性好(压降仅为 45Pa)。特别是经过长期使用后,β-环糊精基的压降还不到商用空气过滤器的一半。此外,这种材料还可以捕获有毒的气态化学物质(如甲醛和 SO)。β-CD 的引入被认为是提高空气过滤器性能的关键因素。
