Filtratsioonitüüpe

Filtratsioonitüüpe refer to the various methods used to separate solid particles from a liquid or gas by passing the mixture through a filter medium. The choice of filtration type depends on factors such as the size of the particles to be removed, the volume of the fluid, and the desired purity of the filtrate.

One common type is mechanical filtration, which uses a porous material to physically block particles. This can range from simple strainers to sophisticated membrane filters with precisely controlled pore sizes. Gravity filtration is a basic form where the fluid passes through the filter due to gravity alone, often used in laboratory settings. Vacuum filtration, on the other hand, employs a vacuum to draw the fluid through the filter, accelerating the process and allowing for finer filtration. Pressure filtration utilizes applied pressure to force the fluid through the filter medium, making it suitable for larger volumes and more challenging separations.

Other types include depth filtration, where particles are trapped within the thickness of the filter material, and surface filtration, where particles accumulate on the surface of the filter. Centrifugal filtration uses centrifugal force to enhance the separation process. The specific application will dictate which of these filtratsioonitüüpe is most appropriate.
