In recent years, the electrostatic-fabric integrated precipitator has been widely used, and the dust filtration performance of the core component filter bag is the most important factor affecting its dust removal efficiency. In this work, the dynamic dust removal performance of different types of filter media and different experimental conditions were studied on the filter media filtration performance test platform. The experimental study of the filtration performance of different types of filter media showed that the filtration performance stability of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) filter media was better than that of polyimide (PI) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter media. Increasing the mass per unit area of the filter media had obvious advantages in the short term, and the impregnation process was beneficial to the filter performance of the filter media. Membrane-coated filter media had the best filtration performance, gradient filter media filtration performance was the second, followed by conventional filter media, ordinary blended, and ultrafine blended filter media. Studies with different experimental conditions found that the filtration efficiency increased with increasing resistance, was not significantly affected by changes in inlet dust concentration, but decreased with the increasing filtering velocity. This experimental results provided an important basis for the selection of filter bags for the electrostatic-fabric integrated precipitator project.
