Low-Cost Long-Length Manufacturing of Continously Melt-Quenched Processed Fully Stabilized Multifilamentary High-Field Nb3AL Superconductor

Not Available Increased awareness of health effects caused by airborne contaminants has incurred increased use of various kinds of air filters. However, filters for the specific application as identified in the solicitation of this SBIR topic are not currently available. Moreover, filter development often faces a technical dilemma between the three major performance criteria: filtration efficiency, holding capacity, and pressure drop. Amsen proposes an innovative idea for the filter design, which uses a new type of material as the filter medium. The filter performance will be enhanced by the coupling of electrostatic and electrochemical effects. This idea may lead to a new type of robust, high-efficiency, high-capacity regenerable filters for fine dusts and sticky mists. Amsen will pursue to establish the concept feasibility in the Phase I work. In Phase II, a pilot-scale-engineering model of the technology will be developed and tested on actual sources.
