Chemical filtration

These include equipment for supply air and equipment for exhaust air and gases. Cleaning of supply air is normally called air filtering, when the contaminant concentration upstream from the air filter is less than, e.g. 1-2 mg/ m Also, chemical filtration can be applied for supply air. 

Treatment can also be carried out using a continuous or semicontinuous operation. In each case, accurate, in-line pH measurement is needed to control the addition of the treatment chemicals. Filtration can be accomplished on a semicontinuous basis using plate and frame hlters by sizing the treatment tanks to allow surge capacity for hlter cleanout intervals, or a continuous vacuum drum hlter can be used. These processes lend themselves to the large capacity plants. 

Increments in phenolics content after UV-B exposure have been recorded for a number of plant species (e.g. Caldwell et al., 1983 Chaves et al., 1997 Turunen et al., 1999). For example, a 10-fold increase in flavonoid concentration occurred in grape vine plants Vitis viniferd) exposed to natural sunlight relative to plants in which UV-A and UV-B radiation had been filtered out (Kolb et al., 2001). Similar responses include UV-B tolerant Arabidopsis mutants (Bieza and Lois, 2001) and lichens in which a clear attenuation of high frequency photons within the thallus was observed due to chemical filtration (Hall et al., 2002).

Three methods are used for treating water, namely chemicals, filtration or light. 

Compounds with high affinity from pesticides with no or lower affinity to the sorbent=chemical filtration or selective elution of analytes Compounds with no or lower affinity from pesticides with higher affinity to the sorbent = separation of matrix components during sorption or washing steps Compounds less volatile than pesticides that undergo thermal cracking while pesticides are carried to a trap by a stream of nitrogen (mainly separation of lipids from thermally stable pesticides)... 

Ci8, Cg, and divinylbenzene polymers) are predominantly used for retention of pesticides from water samples followed by their selective elution by small solvent volumes. In food applications, another SPE approach called chemical filtration , i.e., adsorption of matrix components, such as sugars and fatty acids on aminopropyl (-NH2) or primary secondary amine (PSA) sorbents, while analytes remain in the extract, can be conveniently employed in cartridge or disk formats or as a novel dispersive SPE clean-up (mixing of a small amount of sorbent with the extract).

The employment of fouling monitors to check the effectiveness of physical and chemical filtration, and antifouling precautions is recommended. 

Porosity can be defined as the fraction of the pore volume occupied by pore space or the volume of the pores divided by the volume of the material. Some porous polymer materials have been shown to be of practical use in the last decades. Porous polymer materials have recently become of immense interest to study arena in the development of new materials, because of their potential for appUcations in fuel cell membranes, chemical filtration, tissue engineering, adsorbents, catalysis, sensors, separations, electrochemical cells, storage and drug delivery, etc. [91-94].
