Electrospun Fibers from Biobased and Recycled Materials for Indoor Air Quality Enhancement

Abstrakt

Air filters are crucial components of building ventilation systems. Compared to conventional air filter media like glass fibers and melt-blown fibers, electrospinning membranes are more efficient for capturing various pollutants due to the smaller pores present on the structure. In this paper, activated carbon filters were prepared with eco-friendly polylactic acid (PLA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) using electrospinning to obtain a high-quality factor (QF) fibrous mat for aerosol particle matter (PM) filtration and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) adsorption. Several configurations of the final membranes were investigated and tested for fiber morphology and air filtration performance. Filtering efficiency and adsorption properties were evaluated in a real-scale room by measuring the particle penetration of the newly synthesized and commercial filters against neutralized aerosol particles (3% NaCl aqueous solution) and VOCs (methyl ethyl ketone). The calculated depolluting efficiencies were up to 98% in terms of PM and 55% for VOCs abatement, respectively. Our results indicate that the proposed hybrid membranes represent promising materials for highly efficient and sustainable air filters for home application systems.
