Catalytic filter material and method of making same

The present invention consists of a material IMPROVED CATALYTIC a filter to remove contaminants THAT USED AS THE NO X, in a fluid stream. PRE FILTER invention employs fibers COMPOSITE polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) FILLING WITH EXPANDED catalytic particles. FIBER COMPOSITE FIBRE ARE CUT AND TRUNCATED transformed into a felt material. Preferably, this material is rolled AFTER AT LEAST ONE OF THEIR SIDES WITH A PROTECTIVE microporous membrane. COMBINED filter removes particulates, such as dust, CURRENT FILTER, BEFORE THE DUST MAY colmatar PLACES WITH CATALYTIC ACTIVITY AND BECOMES EFFECTIVE WAY cat- UNWANTED CONTAMINANTS CURRENT FLUENT IN ACCEPTABLE END PRODUCTS.
