Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-supporting mechanically editable filter body for cleaning drinking water or comparable liquids in the flow, in particular for filters that are designed for connection to a tap water tap in the household, with particles of powdered activated carbon or a comparable adsorbent with a large specific surface area and particles a thermoplastic binder which have been bonded to the particles of the absorbent by application of heat and pressure.
  • filter bodies of the specified type e.g. B. DE -OS 15 17 298, DE-OS 31 05 887
  • a sufficiently high strength requires the use of a correspondingly high proportion of binder; however, this reduces the adsorption capacity in an undesirable manner.
  • the filter body in use must have a sufficiently long service life so that it only needs to be replaced at long intervals. Since part of the active surface of the activated carbon particles is occupied by the binder, high proportions of binder are also disadvantageous with regard to the service life.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a mechanically firm and editable activated carbon filter body which also traps very small particles and nevertheless has a flow resistance for water and comparable liquids which is so low that it has an acceptably small size in filters is well suited for connection to water taps in the household.
  • this object is achieved with a filter body of the type specified at the outset, which is characterized in that the binder particles essentially have a bulbous shape which differs from the spherical shape and consist of a binder which, when heated, still remains in a transition temperature range shows a viscoelastic behavior, but becomes sufficiently sticky on the surface to bond with the activated carbon particles.
  • filter bodies according to the invention have a particularly favorable combination of low flow resistance and filter fineness, with good mechanical strength and easy workability.
  • the favorable properties of filter bodies according to the invention can be attributed to the fact that the bulbous particles of the binder fill the space between the activated carbon particles less completely than spherical binder particles, and that the visco-elastic properties of the binder. Melting of the binder on the activated carbon particles can be avoided during the manufacturing process, which is carried out under increasing temperature. It is therefore important that the inventive According to the filter body, the particles of the binder are still largely in their original bulbous form, ie they have not melted due to excessive heating during the manufacturing process.
  • Binders suitable for the purposes of the invention can be found in particular among polyethylenes. Because of its low price, its easy processability, its chemical inertness and its favorable mechanical and thermal properties, polyethylene is also advantageous in other ways.
  • the volume ratio of binder: activated carbon is preferably about 3: 7 to 7: 3. Sufficient strength and good filtration performance can easily be combined in this area. In practice, a volume ratio of about 1 is usually usable.
  • the filter body according to the invention preferably contains a stationary disinfectant such as silver. This prevents, in a known manner, the growth of germs in the interior of the filter body. It is particularly advantageous if silver powder is incorporated into the filter body as a disinfectant. Finely divided metallic silver has a desired antibacterial effect in tap water and is only very slowly consumed by the water flowing through, so that only a little silver is required.
  • a poorly soluble silver compound such as silver sulfide or silver chloride, can also be provided in the filter body in finely divided form as a decant.
  • silver compounds can have a longer service life than metallic silver.
  • the filter body according to the invention preferably has a porosity such that particles with a diameter down to 1 to 0.2 ⁇ m can be filtered off. This can be adjusted by appropriate selection of the particle sizes. It has been shown to be a particular advantage that, even with this very small pore size, the filter body still has a sufficiently low flow resistance in order to have dimensions that are acceptable in the household and with the operating pressures of z. B. 4 bar a sufficient for most applications flow of a few liters per minute.
  • the filter body according to the invention can be produced with little effort in a similar manner to previously known filter bodies of a similar composition, ..
  • a mixture of powdered activated carbon and powdered thermoplastic binder is pressed in a known manner "and heated for a time in such a way that the particles of the Connect the binder to the particles of the activated carbon and then cool it down again;
  • Produce filter bodies according to the invention if a powdery, ultra-high molecular thermoplastic material is used as the binding agent, which still exhibits viscoelastic behavior in a transition temperature range, but becomes sufficiently sticky on the surface to bond with the carbon particles and their particles have a bulbous shape deviating from the spherical shape, that the mixture is pressed and heated to a temperature in the transition temperature range, and that the pressing pressure, the temperature and the duration of the heating are chosen such that the binder particles after cooling adhere to the activated carbon particles while largely maintaining their shape.
  • the process according to the invention can be carried out just as easily as known similar processes, and in individual cases a few orienting tests are sufficient to achieve an optimal result with the binder and activated carbon materials present. It is helpful here that the temperature range in which the viscoelastic behavior is present is generally known for the binders in question. This applies in particular to particularly suitable binders from the group of low-pressure polyethylene with a molecular weight in the range 3 ... 7 « 10. Powdered material of this type, in which the particles have the desired bulbous shape, is commercially available, e.g. B. a particularly suitable powdery low-pressure polyethylene with a molecular weight of about 4.10, at which the transition temperature range can be between about 220 and 300 ° C. It is generally advantageous if relatively thick moldings are produced at higher temperatures than relatively thin moldings.
  • the desired filter fineness is set by appropriate selection of the particle size of the activated carbon.
  • the particle size of the binder can be in a wide range. In principle, activated carbon grades with average particle sizes in the range from approximately 1 ⁇ m to approximately 3 mm can be used. In the case already described that the filter body to be produced should also get back very small particles in the size range from 0.2 to 1 ⁇ m, an activated carbon is expediently used at about 20% by volume. have a particle size of approximately 1 ⁇ m.
  • the bulk density of the binder is often given instead of the particle size.
  • Commercially available grades of low-pressure polyethylene with a bulbous particle shape are grades with a bulk density of about 0.2 to 0.25
  • the filter body has a relatively small thickness, for example 0.5 to 2 cm and a diameter of for example 15 cm, and / or a relatively high content of activated carbon, for example, 50 vol 0th, is present, it may be expedient, wherein add a small amount of a strengthening agent, e.g. low molecular weight polyethylene, to the preparation.
  • a strengthening agent e.g. low molecular weight polyethylene
  • the figure explains the structure of the filter insert according to the invention in a schematic sectional illustration.
  • Particles 1 of a powdery adsorbent such as activated carbon are connected to one another by bulbous particles 2 of a thermoplastic binder to form a self-supporting mechanically processable filter body. Due to the pressure and temperature conditions used in the manufacture, the binder particles 2 are only attached to the active carbon particles 1 in relatively limited connection areas 3 without a substantial change in their original shape. Because of the bulbous shape of the binder particles 2, a comparatively large pore volume 4 results. The binder particles 2 are not melted and melted, so that larger areas of the activated carbon particles 1 are prevented from being sealed by binders.
  • Silver powder has been incorporated as a disinfectant.
  • Silver powder particles 5 are largely bound to the binder particles 2 during the manufacturing process.
