Question

3.
Name the filter media other than cotton wool.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are many filter media from which to choose from; however, the optimum type depends on the properties of the suspension and specific process conditions. Filter media may be classified into several groups, however the two most common classes are the surface-type and depth-media-type.

Surface-type filter media are distinguished by the fact that the solid particles of suspension on separation are mostly retained on the medium's surface. That is, particles do not penetrate into the pores. Common examples of this type of media are filter paper, filter cloths, and wire mesh.
