Abstract
A process for removing particulate contaminants from a fluid is disclosed, the fluid being passed through a filter media comprising cellulose fiber and silica based particulate or fiber filter elements and a charge modifying amount of a cationic charge modifying system bonded to the surfaces thereof. One component of the charge modifying system is a primary charge modifying agent characterized as a water soluble organic polymer capable of being adsorbed into the filter elements and having a molecular weight greater than about 1000. Each monomer of the polymer can have at least one epoxide group capable of bonding to the surface of the filter elements and at least one quaternary ammonium group. A portion of the epoxy groups on the organic polymer are bonded to the secondary charge modifying agent.
