Basic Filtration Principles
Basic filtration involves removing unwanted particles from a liquid or gas by passing it through a medium that traps these impurities. The filter acts like a barrier, capturing larger particles while allowing cleaner fluid to flow through. Filtration efficiency depends on the pore size of the filter material and the size of particles to be removed. As the fluid moves through, contaminants are retained, improving quality. This process is widely used in water purification, air filtration, and industrial applications to ensure substances are safer and cleaner for use or consumption.
