Description

Conductive filter laminate
Background of invention
1. invention field
The present invention relates to a kind of filter medium, relate in particular to a kind of anlistatig conducting filtration material.
2. the description of prior art
Control static can be very important in many industrial plants, and this is can cause serious destruction because of uncontrolled Electrostatic Discharge in these facilities or spark.For example, in some production phase of integrated circuit, static discharge can cause the damage of integrated circuit.At explosive atmosphere (as grain warehouse), or in the based process process of Flammable atmosphere (as the oil drilling cramp), oil plant and solvent, static discharge is extremely dangerous.In order to protect lives and properties must prevent static discharge.
Because the organic polymer textile material static discharge that uses in these facilities is insulating properties normally, so these materials can be the static discharge sources.In addition, unless the electric charge that forms on these material surfaces is leaked away and these materials are changed preventing to set up in its surface electric charge with a kind of controlled way, such material can have higher characteristic impedance value, usually 10 12On the ohm-cm or the higher order of magnitude.A kind of filter medium of special recommendation is intumescent PTFE, and that is disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) 3,953,566 as Gore is such.This material has good filter efficiency, but it is reactive, can not leak static if do not add processing.
In order to control the electrostatic charge that forms in the textile material, can be by textile material being carried out antistatic finish or by in textile material, introducing the electric conductivity that the partially conductive fiber increases the organic polymer textile material at least.The also useful external device (ED) of additive method that is used for controlling electrostatic charge makes the electric charge inflow place (for example ground strip or earth connection) that forms on the textile material.
Making a kind of method of electrostatic charge discharge is that the organic polymer textile material is carried out antistatic finish.This can carry out when the organic polymer textile material is fibers form or form of fabric.This has increased the ionic conductivity of carrying out the surface of antistatic finish usually, thereby quickens electrostatic leakage.Yet this antistatic finish does not resemble the polymer weaving material itself that carried out antistatic finish durable usually.Wash or only will make the antistatic finish disappearance of fabric face, cause material that the ability that electrostatic charge is leaked is lost owing to use organic polymer textile material.
Another kind method is metallizing or a conductive carbon on the fiber outer surface that uses when producing the organic polymer textile material.But if the coating of using is soft unlike the fiber of applying coating, the inflection meeting of fiber makes coating failure, thereby the conductive path that is formed by coating is interrupted or damage.
Also having a kind of method of leaking electrostatic charge is to produce, and conductive fiber is admixed to textile material in the non-braiding filter medium.The example of conductive fiber comprises expanded polytetrafluoroethyl,ne (PTFE) fiber of carbon fiber, metallic fiber or filling, and that is disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) 5,229,200 as Sassa is such.
Although above-mentioned material is functional in some application scenario, they are not all requirements of all satisfying electrostatic leakage in all application scenarios.People's such as Sassa United States Patent (USP) 5,229,200 have adopted a kind of filter medium, and this medium comprises the non-braiding textile material (supporting course) that can leak static, this material layer is stacked in the porous polymer film (filter course) of electric insulation, particularly on an expanded polytetrafluoroethyl,ne (ePTFE) film.This medium can satisfy the requirement of filtration efficiency and electrostatic leakage.Yet the porous polymer film of insulation has limited the ability of filter medium conduct charges, therefore, this medium is being restricted to the use in the extremely responsive environment of spark.In addition, some industrial circle has been set up and has been required surface impedance to have the standard of the filter medium of minimum of a value.Because the high resistivity of film, the insulation porous polymer that uses in the existing stacked filter medium can not satisfy these requirements.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of conductive filter media, this medium had both had filtration efficiency, had effective electrostatic leakage performance simultaneously again.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of conductive filter media, and this medium has intumescent PTFE high filtration efficiency, has sufficient leakage antistatic property simultaneously, thereby can be applied in the environment of fried property.
By following explanation, these purposes of the present invention and other purposes will become and know.
Summary of the invention

Under some filtration application occasion, the potential pulse technology can be used for increasing filter effect, and removes the particle of setting up that is filtered from the filter course of the outside.Under potential pulse, the particle that is filtered charged polarity identical with the charge polarity of charged filter before entering dust storage chamber or filtering area.Charged filter media produces an electric field in the surface, in this surface, and the charged particle trend of being ostracised.Like this, the particle of being ostracised can not infiltrate through filter medium, thereby filter effect will increase.Before supporting material stops, just stop the stop of particle by particle, use electric field also to help the release of particle by this way from filter medium.In addition, the charged of filter can be in step with the airwaves (blowing backward by filter) of medium in time, helps from the filter surfaces release particles.
EPTFE filter membrane of the present invention also helps the removal of particle.The ePTFE film is collected its lip-deep particle, thereby has stoped particle to be buried in the supporting course fabric.Simultaneously, because ePTFE has very low surface energy, so particle can not adhere to from the teeth outwards, this makes filtered particle more easily " releases " and pulse and leave (pulse away).
Following Example further illustrates principle of the present invention, but does not limit the scope of the present invention.To one skilled in the art, various modifications and equivalent all can propose and without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.Example 1:
The conductive particle layer that is filled with porous expanded polytetrafluoroethyl,ne (ePTFE) is made in the following manner.
Make the material of 87 liters of batches, 10% of its weight is solid, and 90% is water.7.5% is made up of Ketjenblack carbon black (10 microns nominal granular sizes) (from the Akzo Chemical company of New York Dobbsfery) in the solid that adds, 92.5% PTFE by the fine powder PTFE of disperse constitutes (by Wilmington, the E.I.du Pont de Nemours and Co. of DE provides), its weight accounts for 29% of solid greatly.Carbon black is added in the water, and under 180rpm (revolution of per minute), in baffled mixer, mixed 25 minutes.Then, be added to PTFE disperse system in the solution and under 300rpm, mixed about 1 minute.PTFE disperse system is bonding and capture carbon granule.Subsequently, filter bonding mixture, and put into 150 ℃ stove 24 hours.Subsequently, mixture is put into cooler cooling 24 hours.(6 * 6mm) net screens the jointing material that makes cooling by 0.25 * 0.25 inch.With 0.67: 1 weight ratio the adding of hydrocarbon solvent oil is coagulated in the mixture.The lubricated condensation material that coagulates is put back in the cooler at least 8 hours, takes out subsequently, let alone to be trapped in the surrounding environment about 24 hours.Then, about 15 minutes of the condensation material with fixed attention of rolling lubrication evenly distributes lubricating oil.Under about 900psi (6205kPa), made the material globulate about 25 minutes.Subsequently, average pressure 1200psi (pounds per square inch (p.p.s.i)) (8274kPa) under by a mould pressurised material that 6 inches (15.24cm) * 0.030 inch (0.8mm) of penetrating of tube of 4 inches (10.2cm) are arranged.Subsequently, make extrudate pass through calender, make it roll into 0.012 foot (0.3mm).Then, under the speed of about 20FPM (6.1 meters of per minutes), make extrudate carry out drying by about 200 ℃ heated drum through calendering.With the processing speed of 8 feet of about per minutes (2.4 meters/minute), under 265 ℃ of temperature, make about 2 times of the extrudate longitudinal dilatation of drying calendering.With the processing speed of 40 feet per minutes (12.2 meters/minute), under 265 ℃ temperature, material is longitudinally continued to stretch 5.25 times.Subsequently, with the output speed of about 60FPM (18.3 meters of per minutes), with about 8 times of the material lateral expansion that longitudinally expands, formation ePTFE film.Under the pressure reduction of 0.5 inch water, the per 1 square feet of material of the ePTFE film of generation has the air penetration rate of 28cfm (per minute cubic feet per footage).
Supporting course is formed by spunbond polyester textile, and the vacuum deposition processes with the Dunmore company of Binzhou Newtown on the fabric applies the thick aluminium lamination of about 350 dusts.The antistatic spunbond polyester textile (AXTAR B2270-BKO) that the ePTFE film is placed on New York Toray Ind.Inc. and provides is coated with above the side of aluminium.With heating by the gap between heated roller and the elasticity silicone cylinder and pressurization gathers into folds two kinds of material layers.Bowl temperature is about 250 ℃, and pressure is 30psi (207kPa), and the fabric feed rate is 30 to 50 feet per minutes (9 to 15 meters/minute).The fabric laminate that makes has good adhesion strength between ePTFE film and nonwoven polyester.The air penetration rate of the final lamination of ePTFE and textile support layer is under 0.5 inch (12.7mm) water column pressure reduction, and the material of per 1 square feet (0.0929 square metre) is about 10 cubic feet of per minutes (0.283mm).
Use efficiency tester, the filter efficiency of test layer laminate materials.In the test, specimen material is placed in the test cabinet in two test cabinets.Atomizing NaCl solution be used for producing the specimen medium must smoke particles; The size of smoke particles has 0.10 to 1.0 micron big, and the smoke particles in 0.25 to 0.35 micron granular size scope, aerial concentration are about 5500 particle/cc.The size of smoke particles is the same with flow velocity, room temperature and humidity with quantity to be controlled.Filtering reservation efficient (filtrationretention efficiency) is to calculate in filtered sample fore-and-aft survey smoke particles concentration (playing the function of granular size) at the LAS-X laser particle counter made from PMS.Adopt these particle sizing values, to the efficient of given granular size scope with the percentage calculation sample filtering.Under the diameter sample size of the flow velocity of about 10.5fpm (3.2 meters of per minutes) and 4 inches (102mm), stacked average efficiency is 85.71 under 0.25 to 0.35 micron granular size.As a comparison, testing the nonwoven polyester (promptly having only supporting course) of coated with aluminum in the same way, only is 18.99 0.25 to 0.35 micron granular size scope internal efficiency.So compare with the situation of having only bonded polyester (supporting course), stacked efficient has increased by 400%.
To the polyester of nonwoven polyester, coated with aluminum and the stacked test surfaces impedance of forming by polyester that has applied aluminium and the ePTFE filter course film that is filled with carbon respectively.Be installed on the insulating frame with the 3478A of Hewlett-Packard type universal meter, two, size 1 " * 1/4 (the square surface electrode of 25.4mm * 6.35mm) is perpendicular to 1 " electrode spacing on the electrode direction is 1 " (25.4mm) on electrode, add the weight of 16psi (110kPa) and as the device to test surface impedances such as insulation transparent vinyl disc of workbench.Adopt this equipment, the surface impedance of nonwoven polyester is greater than 10 10Ohm has surpassed the range ability of equipment.The average surface impedance of the polyester of coated with aluminum is 12.2 ohm of every squares, and standard deviation is 1.6 ohm of every squares.Above-mentioned stacked average surface impedance is 3164 ohm of every squares, and standard deviation is 2921 ohm of every squares.Owing to be filled with the ePTFE film of carbon and the variation contact resistance of electrode, stacked resistance has bigger changeability.Yet, this stacked every square 10 of having an appointment 4The surface impedance of ohm is generally every square 10 than the PTFE pellicular cascade of common filling 12To 10 14Ohm is wanted little 8 orders of magnitude.Example 2:
To be added to according to the ePTFE film stack that is filled with conductive particle that the process of describing in the example 1 is made on the antistatic non-woven polyester fabric ID#AXTAR B2270-BK0 of the Toray Industries Inc. manufacturing of using New York.In this case, under the processing speed of 13.3 feet per minutes (4 meters/minute), 265 ℃ temperature, make 2 times of extrudate longitudinal dilatations through calendering, and 3 times of longitudinal dilatations under the temperature of the processing speed of 40 feet per minutes (12.2 meters/minute) and 265 ℃ subsequently, the ePTFE filtration membrane formed.
It is thick that the film that makes is about 0.002 foot (51 microns), under 0.5 inch (12.7mm) water column pressure, by 1 foot 2Air transmission coefficient during (0.093 square metre) material is 16cfm (0.45 cubic metre).With testing equipment identical shown in example 1, the filter efficiency of test ePTFE film before stacked.Under the situation of 0.25 to 0.35 micron of granular size, flow velocity is still for about 10.5fpm (3.2 meters/minute), and average efficiency is 99.99, and average deviation only is 0.002%.
Also tested the body resistivity of the ePTFE film of filling.Film is placed between the copper electrode of two 11/16 inch (17.5mm) diameter, and puts a weight, so that the pressure of 16 pounds (71N) per square inch to be provided in top of electrodes.Adopt the 3478A universal meter of Hewlett-Packard, measure and penetrate resistance.With the data of this resistance value, sample thickness and electrode size, calculate body resistivity.Average body resistivity is 538 ohm-cms, standard deviation 400 ohm-cms.Here, because the ePTFE film of filling has higher and variable contact resistance, make standard deviation higher.As a comparison, unfilled ePTFE film has and is about 10 12The body resistivity of ohm-cm is compared with the ePTFE film that is filled with carbon of the present invention, exceeds 9 orders of magnitude at least.
Good bonding and excessively do not lose transmitance in order to produce, the ePTFE film stack that will be filled with carbon with enough heats, pressure and the time of staying is added on the bonded polyester.Polyester is heated to the flowable temperature spot of thawing, and is used as the binding agent of the ePTFE film that is filled with carbon.0.5 " under (12.7mm) the water column pressure, by 1 foot 2The final transmissivity of lamination of the medium of (0.093 square metre) is 3.5cfm (0.1 cubic metre/minute).
Subsequently, the filter efficiency of test laminated fabric under the test of simulation industrial filtration applications.Lamination is cut, clamps and be sealed in 12 * 12 inches (in 0.3 * 0.3m) the measuring channel.Be stacked in reception test under the AC FINE test dust of AC Rochester branch of General Motors Corporation of Texas Wichita Falls, this dust has good feature particle size distribution.This dust is very representative in the dust that many industrial filtration applications occasions require to be filtered.Be stacked in when placing, make in the test cabinet of the ePTFE side that the is filled with carbon dust of 2.0 particles in loading is had an appointment every cubic feet air.The flow velocity setting also is controlled under the 6-7fpm (1.8-2.4 rice/minute).Filter produced under an air pulse 0.1 second, 50psi (345kPa) at per 10 seconds and stands " back fluctuation (backpulsed) " (promptly standing to impact from the hyperbar in filter downstream).This pulse application is in many industrial applications, to remove dust and particle from the surface of filter.Many particles that the filter outside is set up have been taken away in this pulse, thereby have prevented that the pressure drop on the filter from increasing too greatly.Test was carried out 168 fens or 1008 pulses.Air downstream is by Gelman science type A/E glass fiber filter, so that collect any dust that may pass through just tested filter lamination.The test before and after, to glass fibre through weighing, so that determine to pass the quality of the dust of just tested filter stack.In addition, the dust in the de-entrainment filter upstream side collection conduit, and the dust that is trapped on the filter weighed.Be used in the quality of dust on the quality of the dust that filter lamination upstream end captures and the glass fiber filter downstream, calculate the efficient of filter.The efficient of filter is 99.99+%.
In addition, analysis and filter device after test is to determine whether test period has damaged the ePTFE film that is filled with carbon.Filter all separates less than tangible damage, pinprick duck eye or lamination at any one.Filter has the function of good eliminating dust, and this only has 5.0% weight to increase (pickup) from filter self is proved.The ePTFE film that is filled with carbon has avoided becoming as non-woven polyester fabric the trap of dust, and dust can easily be escaped from the non-adhering surfaces of film.
Above embodiments of the invention are described, should not to regard as be limitation of the present invention but these are described.Clearly, to all variations of the foregoing description with revise that all should to be considered be the scope that claim of the present invention is protected.
