Other Industrial Applications
Analytical
• X-ray diffraction (XRD); silver metal membranes make excellent
substrates for XRD analysis - silver purity 99.97% -- smooth surface,
grayish-white color; highly reflective surface; absolute surface
retention; low background noise; distinct diffraction peaks.
• Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM); smooth; electrically
conductive; extremely thin membrane 50 µm; easy sample preparation.

Gas
• Air-borne contaminants - National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) - used for industrial hygiene in foundries,
glass plants, quarries, mines, ceramic manufacturing - Methods using
0.45 µm, 25 mm:

• Respirable Combustible Dust (RCD) sampling and analysis -
0.8 µm, 25 mm, mines - measurement of diesel particulate matter,
evaporated hydraulic fluids, fuel oils, and compressed air lubricants
by weighing and ashing.
• Dopant gases for semiconductor manufacturing.
• Steam, or air sterilization, autoclavable
• Venting, high temperatures

Liquid
• Clarification (3.0-5.0 µm); Polishing (1.2 µm);
Sterlization (0.2-0.8 µm)
• Intrinsically Bacteriostatic - Silver does not allow the
growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.
• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for a clearer;
steadier baseline - may rule out interference from other sources
of HPLC solvents (0.2, 0.45, and 0.8 µm); tolerates high temperatures;
gases and aggressive liquids -- Tetrahydrofuran (THF)

Viscous fluid applications
• Organic Carbon, inorganic, and suspended-sediment water -
0.45 µm, 47mm, used by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
• Lubrication oils for servomechanisms and precision instruments
• High-purity fluids in semiconductor applications

Other Industrial Applications
• Chlorine Monitoring - Pulp & Paper Industry, disinfection;
removal of tin and zinc in iron; chlorinating hydrocarbons; manufacturing
synthetic rubber, plastics, pesticides, refrigerants; treating water
and sewage
• Electronics Industry - filter coolants, cleaning fluids,
sterile air
• Aircraft/Missile Fuels; critical fluids - resists alcohols,
fuels, hydrocarbons, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), oils, alkalies,
ethers
• OSHA - coal tar pitch volatiles, 0.8 µm, 47 mm and
37 mm
• Cold Sterilization (beverages, beer) - absolute particle-retention
due to precise pore size
• Soil and clay analysis
• Fly Ash Sampling; Energy Research and Development Agency
(ERDA)
• Bacteria Sampling
