Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a filter structure. A second porous film having a plurality of second holes is disposed on a first porous film having a plurality of first holes. The second holes are smaller than the first holes. The filter structure is dried by an easy and power-saving method such as compression.
Claims18
A method for filtrating, comprising:
- providing a filter structure;
- drifting down a mixed solution onto a top surface of the second porous film of the filter structure to intercept residue larger than the second holes in the mixed solution, and a liquid in the mixed solution passing through the second holes and allow the liquid to continue to flow downward;
- wherein the filter structure for filtering a liquid containing solid particles having a diameter between 0.5 μm to 10 μm, comprising:
- a first porous film having a plurality of first holes;
- a second porous film on the first porous film and having a plurality of second holes, wherein the second holes are smaller than the first holes;
- and
- a film capable of absorbing water disposed between the first porous film and the second porous film,
- wherein the diameters of the second holes are smaller than the diameters of solid particles in the liquid;
- wherein the range of the diameter of the first holes is between diameters of the second holes and 0.457 cm,
- after the first porous film and the film capable of absorbing water absorbs the liquid, compressing the first porous film and the film capable of absorbing water by a compressing force to drain out the liquid and rinse the second porous film when the liquid flows back to the second porous film due to the compression to remove the residue blocking the second holes;
- and
- removing the compressing force so that the compressed first porous film and the compressed film capable of absorbing water springs back to an original shape.
