                    Objective: The aim of this study is prepration and using of microbial cellulose 
as an air filter and surface adsorbent of air pollutants. 
Method:  Techniques  used  in  this  study  include  bacterial  cellulose  production, 
growth and reproduction, processing. Then various methods for testing bacterial 
cellulose drying and pore size and the initial BET was measured with the device. 
Results: The  study  indicated  use  of  microwave  radiation  drying  of  bacterial 
cellulose with maintaining the initial volume and provide the openings so that the 
pores in their number and very close to the activated carbon and Iodine Number 
632 was created. 
Conclusion:  Microwave  radiation  causes  the  initial  volume  of  dry  cellulose 
production  and  keeping  the  pores.This  method  is  so  specific  in  creating  pores 
swell  dried  bacterial  cellulose  that  can  use  it  as  a  biological  filter  with  pores 
identified  as  adsorbent  for  removal  of  chemical  pollutants  was  provided  in  the 
air.
