Components of Filtration
- Filter medium: This is the material through which the mixture is passed. It may be a porous material, such as filter paper, or a physical barrier, such as a mesh screen.
- Filtrate: The liquid that passes through the filter medium and is collected below it.
- Residue: The solid particles that are retained by the filter medium and collected on top of it.
- Filtration apparatus: This includes a funnel, filter paper, and a container to collect the filtrate.
Steps in Filtration
- Place the filter medium (e.g., filter paper) in a funnel, and set the funnel in a container to collect the filtrate.
- Pour the mixture to be filtered into the filter paper. The liquid will pass through the filter paper, leaving the solid particles behind.
- Collect the filtrate in the container below the filter paper.
- Remove the residue from the filter paper and dry or further process it if needed.
Applications of Filtration
Filtration is widely used in various fields, including:
