Study Notes
Filtration
- Filtration separates substances based on particle size.
- The filter contains holes large enough for only liquid to pass through.
- Insoluble solids are trapped by the filter.
- Liquid passes through the filter.
- Suspensions containing solid and liquid phases can be separated using this method.
- The desired output (liquid or solid) can be recovered.
