The absorption of water by a filter paper is due to Capillary action.
- A semi-permeable paper barrier that is placed perpendicular to a liquid or air flow is known as filter paper.
- It's used to separate liquids or gases from fine solid particles. Filter paper is available in a variety of sizes and shapes.
- Consider wet strength, porosity, particle retention, volumetric flow rate, compatibility, efficiency, and capacity.
- With paper, there are two types of filtration mechanisms: volume and surface.
- Particles are captured in the bulk of the filter paper when using volume filtration.
- Particles on the paper's surface are captured by surface filtering.
- Filter paper is frequently used since even a small piece may absorb a lot of liquid by capillary action.
