Mikroplastik Reifenabrieb und Textilien werden in Mikronix eingefangen.

Knowledge-based separation of environmentally harmful microplastic particles from fluid flows using modeling, numerical simulation, and experimental validation

Environmental pollution with microplastic particles is increasing globally. Microplastics in soil are mainly caused by tire wear, while microplastics in water are mainly caused by the washing of synthetic textiles such as fleece and functional clothing. This is where Mikro-nix comes in, researching and developing technologies using computation fluid dynamics simulation to capture harmful particles.

 Duration: 2026-2027

Bild einer Simulation von Strömungsverhalten im Ölfilter

Increasing the efficiency of oil-separating gas filters through the experimental and simulative development of a new type of filter medium made from bicomponent fibers (BiGOFil)

Simulation-based and experimental development of an oil mist filter that increases the degree of separation at a lower pressure loss. Use of non-round, profiled bicomponent fibers with oil ducts and production of a fleece as a filter medium in the newly developed coalescence filter.

Duration: 2020-2022
