Filtration

What is Filtration? 

Filtration is a separation technique that uses a porous medium that retains the solid substance but allows the fluid to penetrate through it. It is the process of removing insoluble substances from the solution. 

How to Filter Water at home?

We use various techniques to filter water at home. Some of the important methods used to filter water are,

• Use of Filtration Membrane (Muslin Cloth, etc)
• Bolling of Water.
• Use of Chemicals such as Chlorine, Bleaching Powder, etc.
• Use of RO (Reverse Osmosis) Filter

Which type of Mixture can be Separated by Filtration?

A mixture that contains a liquid and an insoluble solid can be Separated by Filtration.

What is the Principle of Filtration?

The size of the solute and the solvent particle differs a lot and this concept is used as the principle of filtration. That the difference in size allows only the smaller particles to move from the filtration membrane.

Who Filters the Blood in the Body?

The blood in the human body is filtered through the kidneys. The filtration unit of the kidney is called the nephron, which is responsible for the filtration of blood in the human body.

What is Filtration Membrane?

Filtration membranes are living or non-living membranes formed by either organic or inorganic materials that are used to separate dissolved materials or solutes from a true solution or from a colloidal solution.

Filtration is a method to separate the components of a mixture where the solvent part is liquid and the solute is an insoluble solid. Let’s know more about Filtration Definition, Process, Application and examples in detail below.

In simple words, Filtration is the process in which solid particles in liquid or gases are removed by the filter that allow the passes of liquid but blocks the passage of solid. The mechanism of “filtration” can be mechanical, biological, or physical.
