ultrafiltration

Ultrafiltration is a process used to separate small particles, such as water and dissolved substances, from larger molecules or solids. It works by forcing a liquid through a semi-permeable membrane that blocks larger particles while allowing smaller molecules to pass through. This technique is commonly used in water purification, dialysis, and food processing to remove impurities and contaminants effectively, resulting in cleaner water or solutions. The process relies on pressure to push the fluid through the membrane, ensuring efficient separation based on particle size without using chemicals or heating.
