Abstract
This report demonstrates how electropositive filters can be used to enhance the removal of microorganisms and other negatively charged particles from water. It was shown that electropositive depth filters were capable of adsorbing viruses and endotoxins many times smaller than the average pore size of the filter. Electronegative filters of similar porosity or electropositive filters that had been treated to destroy the positive charge were almost ineffective under similar conditions for the removal of viruses and small latex spheres. The results of this study indicate that electropositive filters are highly effective in the removal of a wide range of contaminants over a wide range of pH values and ionic conditions.
