Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present application discloses a porous filter membrane and an assembly of porous filter membranes for air filtration and inactivation of virus. The porous filter membrane comprises a metallic based coating with anti-viral characteristics. The porous filter membrane is made of inorganic materials such as ceramics, comprises pores in the micro/submicro/nano size range, and further comprises a thin film metallic based coating. The present invention can retain and inactivate airborne viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, and is suitable to be used in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC), health-care ventilators, respiratory protection equipment and any other device or equipment suitable for filtering air.
