	Filtration
		Filtration is a technique used either to remove impurities from an organic solution or to isolate an organic solid.
		Hot gravity filtrations are no longer included in the routine procedures for the experiments in the organic chemistry teaching labs, they used to be used in the teaching labs to remove powdered Norite from a hot solution; since we switched to pelletized Norite, hot filtrations are not used.
		Vacuum filtration is used primarily to collect a desired solid, for instance, the collection of crystals in a recrystallization procedure.

	Filtration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry, alchemy and water treatment, filtration is the process of using a filter to mechanically separate a mixture.
		The simplest method of filtration is to pass a solution of a solid and fluid through a porous interface so that the solid is trapped, while the fluid passes through.
		Filtration is a more efficient method for the separation of mixtures than decantation, but is much more time consuming.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Filtration (abstract algebra) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Filtrations are widely used in abstract algebra, and homological algebra (where they are related in an important way to spectral sequences).
		In measure theory, in particular in martingale theory and the theory of stochastic processes, a filtration is a sequence of sigma-algebras on a measurable space.
		A typical example is in mathematical finance, where a filtration represents the information available at each time t, and is more and more precise (the set of measurable events is staying the same or increasing) as information from the present becomes available.

	Comparing Functions and Types of Filtration for Your Aquarium
		Biological filtration occurs to some degree in all filters and in areas of the aquarium where these bacteria are present such as the water, substrate, and decorations.
		The efficiency of the chemical filtration is similar to the efficiency of the mechanical filtration and is going to depend on the percent of the water passing through the cartridge.
		The mechanical filtration of the wet/dry filter is accomplished by both the the pre-filter material, and the sponge that is located between the biological filter and the sump section.

	Filtration
		Its efficiency is limited by the shape and compressibility of the particles, the viscosity of the liquid phase and the maximum allowable pressures.
		Large-scale simple filtration employs filter cloths and filter aids in a plate and frame press configuration, in rotary vacuum filters or centrifugal filters (Figure 2.3).
		Filtration of particles that are easily compressed leads to filter blockage and the failure of Equation 2.3 to describe the system.

	DWP: Alternative Filtration Technologies
		Once the filtration technology has met the State's performance criteria, it is regulated as a slow sand filter.
		The Surface Water Treatment Rule requires alternative filtration technologies to achieve "99.9 percent removal and/or inactivation of Giardia lamblia cysts..." 99.9 percent (3 log) of all cysts must be either filtered out or "inactivated" by the time water reaches the first customer.
		Filtration is a series of processes designed to remove particles from water.

	Filtration
		In biological filtration, certain bacteria, known as facultative bacteria, absorb ammonia, and turn nitrites into nitrates, which are not as dangerous.
		A good biological filtration system, teamed up with a mechanical filter (such as a skimmer) to remove solids before the water enters the biological filtration unit, is the most effective way to filter water.
		This filtration is accomplished by passing water through a tube that houses an ultraviolet light bulb.

	Filtration
		Yet, this concept is theoretically the first step of filtration from a non-well source.

	A Guide to Pond Filtration
		Mechanical or physical filtration refers to the removal of particles of debris by means of passing the pond water through various filtration media.
		In smaller unlined ponds, you may not need to worry about biological filtration, since the exposure of the water to the soil allows the bacteria in the soil to act as the filter.
		The filtration system is probably the most important piece of mechanical equipment in your pond, so invest in a system that is easy to maintain and of the best quality.

		If a large biological filter is present chemical filtration should not be needed, but it is good to use while the biological filter is maturing or isn't big enough for the pond.
		Biological filtration turns ammonia into nitrate which is harmless to fish (unless at extremely high levels) but the disadvantage of this is that algae love nitrate and you get an algae bloom.
		Vegetable filtration, algaecides and magnets will all work on blanket weed, but UV filtration will not as the algae has to pass through the filter to be killed and blanket weed is attached to the pond walls.

	Filtration module
		Filtration is a technique used to separate a solid from a solution.
		Gravity filtration is most useful when the solid is to be discarded and the filtrate (the liquid that flows through the filter paper) kept.
		Vacuum filtration is often faster than gravity filtration and is most useful if the solid must be kept or if a filtration must be done rapidly.
