 Filter (chemistry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry and common usage, a filter is a device (usually a membrane or layer) that is designed to block certain objects or substances while letting others through.
Filters are often used to remove harmful substances from air or water, for example to remove air pollution, to make water drinkable, to prepare coffee.
Filtrate is the liquid produced after filtering a suspension of a solid in a liquid.

During filtering operation, dirty water from the pool comes in through the filter's inlet pipe, which leads to the water distribution head inside the tank.
He or she adjusts a valve at the filter to connect the pipe from the pump to the outlet pipe and connect the drainage pipe to the inlet pipe.
In a diatomaceous earth filter, water from the pool passes through filter grids coated with diatomaceous earth, a fine powder made from the chemically inert, fossilized remains of sea organisms called diatoms.

A widespread misconception is that the air bubbles in the lift tube of an undergravel filter significantly contribute to the aeration of an aquarium.
Undergravel filters can be good biological filters but they also are good mechanical filters which is their downfall.

But when the filter begins building up pressure from continual vacuuming, the flow rate through the filter goes down and the water in the pool is not moving through the system fast enough.
As you backwash from filter to rinse several times, you are actually reversing the water flow inside the filter by banging water up against the screens with force to release the trapped debris.
If you forget to recoat the filter screens with DE the dirt will collect directly on the screens and you may clog the screens and have to disassemble the filter and clean them with a hose.

The original HEPA filter was designed in the 1940s for and used in the Manhattan Project to prevent the spread of airborne radioactive contaminants.
It was commercialized in the 1950s and the original term became a registered trademark and a generic term for highly efficient filters.
Over the decades, filters have evolved to satisfy the higher and higher demands for air quality in various high technology industries, such as aerospace, pharmaceutical processing and electronic microcircuitry (computer chips).

FILTER: The filtration equipment of your pool-the FILTER (filtration) and the PUMP (circulation) constitute what is known as your (mandatory) pool equipment; a heater and an automatic chemical feeder are optional equipment.
The reason is that if water is in the filter and this water does start to freeze, the drain plug/cap is designed to pop out as the near freezing water begins to expand, relieving pressure from the filter tank.
After this 4-5 years, once filter cycles decrease (when it is taking less time for the pressure guage to show a rise of 8-10 psi) and the need for backwashing increases, contract your local pool professionals and pay them to change the sand.

These filters equate to recommended capacities of approximately 2150 to 3000 pounds and 2750 to 3850 pounds for steel and twice that for iron, respectively.
These filters have been found to provide exceptional benefit to extremely drossy metal pours that have a tendency to blind off the surface of the filter, and can be produced in any filter chemistry desired.
In either case a blank, a removable object to mimic the filter size, is used to insert the filters.

 MICRO: Tool/Fab Support
While Teflon filters were unaffected by the strong solvents used in photochemicals and their membrane structures had comparatively low organic and ionic extractables, the Teflon surface was much less wettable than the nylon and cellulosic filters they replaced.
Filter manufacturers must perform a balancing act by developing membrane surfaces that both remove bubbles from photochemical fluid and retard bubble formation downstream of the filter.
While filter modification 1 (a nonsieving UPE filter with a surface similar to nylon) adsorbed some contaminant material from the photoresist in the nylon-adsorption area, the base UPE membrane did not adsorb material.

All filter packs and bottles were cleaned by rinsing in deionized water 7 times, allowing to soak overnight in deionized water, rinsing again 4 times in deionized water and finally either dried in a drying oven at no more than 60 degrees C or allowed to sit with caps loosened (bottles) until bottle was dry.

 A New Rapid and Effective Chemistry Space Filter in Recognizing a Druglike Database
To develop a new chemistry space filter with high efficiency and accuracy, an analysis on distributions of as many as 50 structural and physicochemical properties was carried out on both druglike and nondruglike databases, viz.
The filter is composed of two descriptors: one is a molecular saturation related descriptor, and the other is associated with the proportion of heteroatoms in a molecule.
Therefore, this newly developed chemistry space filter should be a potent tool for identifying druglike molecules, thus, it would have potential applications in the research of combinatorial library design and virtual high throughput screening using computational approaches for drug discovery.

 HOW AND WHEN TO CARE FOR YOUR CARTRIDGE FILTER
It is important to size filter according to pump and gallonage.Improper sizing can result in equipment failure or inadequate filtration.
Assuming the Filter is properly maintained and correctly sized to the pump, determining when the Cartridge is exhausted depends primarily upon three factors: 1) Shorter cycle time between cleanings, 2) Low water flow rate and high differential pressure, and 3) Catastrophic failure such as a tear in the media or center core collapse.
Filter elements are plastic and should be handled and maintained accordingly.

A HEPA filter (theoretically) can remove from the air at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and any airborne particles with a size of 0.3 micrometres.
The common assumption that a HEPA filter acts like a sieve where particles smaller than the hole size get through is entirely incorrect (membrane filters do work that way).
In a HEPA filter, particles are trapped (they stick to a fiber) by one of three mechanisms; diffusion, interception or impaction.
