Abstract
The effect of filtration layer morphology on filtration performance at 673 K was investigated for continuous alumina‐fiber‐reinforced mullite composite filters that capture fly ash on their outer surfaces. Two types of filtration layers were prepared on the outer surfaces: a mono‐layer consisting of mullite agglomerated particulates and a bi‐layer, with mullite whiskers formed by a vapor‐phase reaction and strongly adhered to the particulates exposed on the outer surfaces. For filters with mono‐filtration layers, the filtration efficiency was improved slightly by increasing the filtration layer thickness. However, the maximum differential pressure increased during the filtration tests. Adhesion of whiskers to the outer surface decreased the maximum differential pressure to about one‐third less than that with the mono‐filtration layer. This low differential pressure remained constant throughout the duration of the test, with corresponding increases in filtration efficiency.
