membrane filtration

Membrane filtration is a process that uses a thin barrier, or membrane, to separate particles from a liquid. This membrane has tiny pores that allow water and smaller substances, like salts and impurities, to pass through while blocking larger particles, such as bacteria or sediment. It's commonly used in water purification, food processing, and pharmaceutical production to ensure the end product is clean and safe. Essentially, it’s a way to filter out unwanted materials while allowing the desired liquid or solution to flow through.
