What is filtration?
Filtration is a separation technique used to separate solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass. Solids that are too large to pass through the filter medium are retained, while the fluid passes through, resulting in separation. It is commonly used in water purification, air conditioning, chemical processing, and in everyday applications like coffee brewing.
What other technologies are related to filtration?
filtration Competitor Technologies
ion exchange
Ion exchange is a separation technique that, like filtration, removes specific ions from a solution. Depending on the application, it can be a competitor to filtration.
chromatography
Chromatography is another separation technique that can be used as an alternative to filtration, especially for separating components with similar properties.
centrifugation
Centrifugation is a separation technique that uses centrifugal force to separate particles based on size and density. It can be a competitor to filtration in certain applications.
distillation
Distillation is a separation technique based on differences in boiling points. It is used to separate liquids or to separate liquids from solids. This can be used in place of filtration for some applications.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane separation technique that can be a competitor to other filtration methods, especially for water purification.
TFF
Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) is also a membrane separation technique, TFF is another name for ultrafiltration. It's used for concentrating and purifying biomolecules.
reverse osmosis (RO)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane separation technique that can be a competitor to other filtration methods, especially for water purification.
ultrafiltration
Ultrafiltration is a type of membrane filtration that separates molecules based on size. It competes with other filtration methods.
