FIELD: methods for imparting charge to fibrous webs by means of non-aqueous liquid for usage of said webs as filters in filtering face masks for protection of user's mouth and nose. n SUBSTANCE: method involves wetting web formed from non-conductive fibers with non-aqueous polar liquid; substantially drying web for producing fibrous electronic web. Method differs from known methods of imparting charge to web in that it requires less energy for drying of web than methods using aqueous liquids. Also, many kinds of filaments poorly wetted with aqueous liquids are immediately wetted with non-aqueous liquids. n EFFECT: increased efficiency and simplified method. n 12 cl, 2 dwg, 6 tbl, 26 ex |
