filtrated

Filtrated is a past tense and past participle form of the verb "to filtrate." The verb "to filtrate" means to pass a liquid or gas through a filter or porous material to remove something. This process is commonly used in science and industry to separate solid particles from a fluid, or to purify a substance by removing impurities. The act of filtration results in a filtrate, which is the liquid or gas that has passed through the filter, and a residue or solid, which is retained by the filter. For example, coffee is brewed by passing hot water through coffee grounds, resulting in filtrated coffee. In a laboratory setting, a chemist might filtrate a solution to remove a precipitate, obtaining a clear filtrate. The term can also be used more generally to describe the removal or separation of something unwanted.
