Definitions
- the present invention relates to filters, particularly for filtration of water under gravity and to a process for making such filters.
- the invention also relates to a gravity filtration device using the filter of the invention.
- One such type of household device is based on irradiating the feed water with ultraviolet radiation that kills the bacteria and virus.
- Such type of device requires the availability of power supply which is very often not available on a continuous basis especially in rural areas.
- Another type of household device is based on filtration through a membrane. This type of device which is based on the principle of reverse osmosis also requires the availability of power supply and water pressure. In the rural areas, water is usually not available at high pressure. Water is usually collected from the lakes, rivers and wells in pots and carried by hand to the households. Many attempts have been made to provide water purification devices that do not need availability of power supply or high pressure water.
- This publication WO2005095284 describes a gravity fed water purification system comprising a filtration unit for filtering particulate and soluble material from the input water, a chemical dispensing unit for controlled dispensing of a biocide into the water followed by a retention chamber for retaining the treated water for a predetermined period of time before the water exits the purification system through a scavenger means for removing the dispensed biocide from the water.
- the filtration unit in the above publication is preferably a carbon block made by moulding activated carbon particles along with a polymeric binder at high temperature and pressure.
- the base plate of the carbon block is usually made of a thermoplastic material like polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or styrene acrylonitrile (SAN). These base plates are usually glued on to the carbon block using glues like hot melt adhesives.
- US4753728 (Amway 1988) describes a carbon particle filter comprising carbon particles bonded into a filter block by a low melt index polymeric material having a melt index of less than 1 gram per 10 minutes as determined by ASTM D1238 at 190 degree C, and 15 kilograms load, whereby said polymeric material will tackify at elevated temperatures without becoming sufficiently liquid to substantially wet the carbon particles.
- the end plates in this publication are separately moulded in slush molds by dipping the moulded carbon block in a pool of melted polypropylene. The process described is a multistep process and involved manufacturing complexities.
- the present inventors have found that there are several disadvantages of filter blocks made with end plates glued/moulded on externally. Firstly there is a high degree of unreliability in this process of external gluing. The chances of leakage are high. Further the end plate has to be sealed to the water filtration device using rubber gaskets. In such a method of sealing, the tolerance in the angle at which the end plate is glued to the carbon block is very low. What this means is that the variation in the angle of the end plate to the axis of the carbon block over a large number of filters manufactured has to be very small, to minimize the amount of quality rejections. Further it has been observed that the multi step process comprising moulding the carbon block followed by gluing the end plate is rather cumbersome for the manufacturing teams. This complexity along with the concomitant high rejection rates made for the prior art process of making these filters and the resultant filters rather expensive.
- the present inventors have found that it is possible to manufacture filters comprising filter blocks in a simple and inexpensive manner by moulding the filter block and the end plate in a single step process by using polymeric binders for the filter block and a polymer for the end plate both meeting a selective specification.
- the present inventors have found that it is possible to overcome most of the disadvantages of such types of filters manufactured in the past.
- step (b) mixing particulate filter media and polymeric binder having a melt flow rate less than 5 grams/10 minutes; - adding the mixture of step (b) to the mould;
- the invention further provides a filter comprising: a filter block comprising filter particulate filter media and polymeric binder having melt flow rate less than 5 grams/10 minutes; and an end plate integrally moulded to said filter block, said end plate having a port for passage of liquid and made of a polymer having melt flow rate less than 5 grams/10 minutes.

- the melt-flow rate (MFR) is measured using ASTM D 1238 (ISO 1133) test. The test measures the flow of a molten polymer through an extrusion plastometer under specific temperature and load conditions.
- the extrusion plastometer consists of a vertical cylinder with a small die of 2 mm at the bottom and a removable piston at the top. A charge of material is placed in the cylinder and preheated for several minutes.
- the piston is placed on top of the molten polymer and its weight forces the polymer through the die and on to a collecting plate.
- the time interval for the test ranges from 15 seconds to 15 minutes in order to accommodate the different viscosities of plastics. Temperatures used are 190, 220, 250 and 300 0 C (428, 482 and 572°F). Loads used are 1.2, 5, 10 and 15 kg. As per the present invention the tests are done at 190 0 C at 15 kg load.

- the filter of the invention is also suitable as a scavenger for removal of balance biocide and halogens like chlorine, bromine or iodine from water treated with such biocide.
