RESUMO
Micro-fiber glass filters from Gelman, Filterite, Johns-Manville, and Whatman were compared with Millipore membrane filters on the basis of their virus adsorbancy, flow rate, clogging resistance, and virus concentration efficiency by using tap water at 2 nephelometric turbidity units. As virus adsorbants the Johns-Manville D39, Filterite 0.25-micron, Filterite 0.45-micron, and Millipore 0.45-micron filters were the most efficient, retaining more than 99% of the added virus in water at pH 3.5 and 0.0005 M aluminum chloride. The Johns-Manville D79 and D49 filters retained 92 and 96% of the virus, respectively, whereas the Whatman GF-D, Whatman GF-F, Gelman A-E, and Millipore AP-20 filters retained only 28, 78, 56, and 34% of the virus, respectively. The best flow rate and clogging resistance were obtained with the Johns-Manville D79 filter or with this filter acting as a prefilter to the Johns-Manville D49, Johns-Manville D39, or Filterite 0.45-micron filter. Finally, poliovirus experimentally seeded in 20 liters of tape water was recovered from Johns-Manville D79-Johns-Manville D39 or Johns-Manville D79-Filterite 0.45 micron 142-mm filter combinations was a efficiencies of 86 and 85%, respectively.
