Figure 4

Elucidating the role of aqueous soap treatment on (a) Flow field and (b) Distribution of captured particles for selected subregion after five treatment cycles. (c) Comparison of the particle distribution across the depth of the control sample after one and five cycles. The displayed subregion has a thickness of 600 µm, a porosity of 0.97, resulting in a filtration efficiency of 63.9% after five cycles of soap treatment.
