Experiments demonstrated the possibility of utilizing a hollow-fiber module for the high-performance separation of supramicron-sized airborne particles at steric/hyperlayer operating mode of HF FlFFF. Eluting particles during HF FlFFF separation were collected at short time intervals (∼︁10 s) for the microscopic examination. It showed that particle size and size distributions of all SPLITT fractions of airborne particles can be readily obtained using a calibration and that HF FlFFF can be utilized for the size confirmation of the sorted particle fraction during SPLITT fractionation.Read More
