Method And Device For The Collection Of Airborne Particles And Their Concentration In Small Amounts Of Liquid

View page
US Patent:
20090320618, Dec 31, 2009
Filed:
Jun 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/490011
Inventors:
Gediminas Mainelis - Milltown NJ, US
Assignee:
ENVIRO APPLICATIONS, LLC - Milltown NJ
International Classification:
G01N 1/10
US Classification:
7386321
Abstract:
A method and its possible embodiments are presented for collecting airborne biological and non-biological agents and concentrating them into small amounts of liquid. Airborne particles are drawn into the sampler and by the action of an electrostatic field are deposited on the collection electrode covered with superhydrophobic substance (surface contact angle >150). At the end of the sampling period a small liquid droplet (5-60 μL) is injected at the top of the sampling chamber. Since the sampler is positioned at an angle to the horizontal, the droplet rolls-off of collection electrode's surface under the force of gravity and removes the deposited particles. The droplet is then collected by a liquid capture system. The particles concentrated in such small amounts of liquid facilitate sample analysis by various techniques. The suggested sampler's embodiments achieve sample concentration rates higher than 1×10/min which will allow detection of very low particle concentrations.

Electrostatic Screen Device And Method For Emission Control

View page
US Patent:
20110056372, Mar 10, 2011
Filed:
Sep 7, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/876570
Inventors:
Gediminas Mainelis - Milltown NJ, US
Taewon Han - Albany CA, US
Satyanarayanan Seshadri - Ballandur, IN
Assignee:
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey - New Brunswick NJ
International Classification:
B03C 3/12
B03C 3/00
B03C 3/47
US Classification:
95 79, 96 98, 96 78
Abstract:
An electrostatic screen battery for emission control (ESBEC) system includes a plurality of screens. The screens are arranged in an alternating manner so that screens at a first electric potential are interposed with screens at a second electric potential. An ionizer is disposed upstream of the screens. An exhaust stream passes by the ionizer and then through the screens, where particulates are deposited onto the screens. In preferred embodiments the screens have hydrophobic surfaces.

US Patent:
20140041519, Feb 13, 2014
Filed:
Oct 9, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/050310
Inventors:
Gediminas Mainelis - Milltown NJ, US
Taewon Han - Albany CA, US
Assignee:
RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - New Brunswick NJ
International Classification:
B03C 3/47
US Classification:
95 79, 96 54
Abstract:
An electrostatic screen battery for emission control (ESBEC) system includes a plurality of screens arranged in an alternating manner, so that screens at a first electric potential are interposed with screens at a second electric potential, with an ionizer disposed upstream of the screens, wherein a particulate-containing exhaust stream passing by the ionizer and then through the screens deposits particulates onto the screens. In preferred embodiments the screens have hydrophobic surfaces.

Particulate Air Sampling Using Ferroelectric Materials

View page
US Patent:
20180266922, Sep 20, 2018
Filed:
Sep 23, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/762851
Inventors:
- New Brunswick NJ, US
Gediminas Mainelis - North Brunswick NJ, US
Jerry I. Scheinbeim - Princeton NJ, US
International Classification:
G01N 1/22
B03C 3/28
B03C 3/017
B03C 3/32
F23J 15/02
G01N 1/26
Abstract:
A passive and active sampler for airborne particulate sampling (especially particles of biological origin) and a method of using same are disclosed. The sampler includes a sampler base portion of variable size and shape having a longitudinal body and an inner surface. The sampler base portion is configured with a plurality of air channels having variable air channel spacing therethrough the longitudinal body. A plurality of layers of ferroelectric film have a first side and a second side polarized by application of an external electric field such that the first side produces a negative electric field at a first surface and the second side produces a positive electric field at a second surface. The plurality of layers of polarized, ferroelectric film are disposed thereon the longitudinal body with their opposite polarization directions facing each other across a fixed air gap to collect both charged and uncharged particles. The use of such technology as an electrostatic precipitator for active sampling of airborne particulates and a method of using same are further disclosed. This electrostatic precipitator technology can be used for bioaerosol or general particle filtration, as in HVAC systems.
