Filtration

Description

Filtration is another essential unit operation in chemistry that involves the separation of a solid-liquid or solid-gas mixture using a porous material called a filter. The purpose of filtration is to remove solid particles from a liquid or gas, leaving behind a clarified liquid or a gas with reduced particulate matter.
