Abstract
Filter fabric during the present has seen asubstancial demand across the world due to increase in r&d activity andtechnical awarness continual research activity enables manufacturer for moreand more innovative solutions, to create cloths with special weave, tomanufacture customized products, in order to satisfy complete demand ofoutsourcing market wide range of filter fabrics available in natural andsynthetic fibres - staple yarn, continuous yarn and monofilament satisfiesthe requirements of different industries. .According to the sources the demandis going to break the records in coming years. So our paper is deeply going tofocus on filter fabric as a main its fabric manufacturing technique, selectioncriteria ,filtration efficiency, filter performance and its various applicationin brief.
Introduction
It is very probable that the word FILTER isderived from the latin FILTRUM which is closely related to feltrum, meaningfelt or compressed wool. Today hardly a modern industry exists without somedependence on a filtering operation. Perhaps the first patent on a filter wasissued to Joseph Amy by the French Government in 1789 and later on in 1791 cameup a British patent describing as filtration by ascent. Since then there have beenextensive development in the area of filtration. Textiles are considered asporous medium and by a porous medium and by a porous medium we understand, thatmaterial which has in its structure certain number of cavities or empty spacesinterconnected or not and can established a direct communication in theboundary of opposed surfaces. Upto the beginning of 1950 textiles used infiltration were uniquely based on woven fabrics of cotton, wool and glassfibers. The development of synthetic fibers in woven and non woven fabrictechnology substantially modified the use of textiles in filtration.
