The inertial interception mechanism of particle-fiber collision in fibrous filters is described. The main mechanisms by which particles are retained in filters together with the effect of a number of operating parameters are discussed. The effect of particle size, gas velocity, relative humidity, a

## Abstract Liquid aerosols produced in many manufacturing and refining processes need to be filtered from the exhaust streams. Where wettable fibers are used in the filters, the aerosol liquid collects on the fibers. Observation shows that thin films develop on the fibers, and the liquid drains do
Chemical, manufacturing and refining processes often generate toxic liquid by products that are emitted as liquid aerosols in the waste stream. Wettable and nonwettable fibers can be used to filter these exhaust streams. The behavior of liquid aerosols and droplets on nonwettable fibers is studied b
