Question

Difference between filtration and seiving

Answer 1

Answer:

In sieving, particles that are too big to pass through the holes of the sieve are retained (see particle size distribution). In filtration, a multilayer lattice retains those particles that are unable to follow the tortuous channels of the filter

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

• In sieving, particles that are too big to pass through the holes of the sieve are retained (see particle size distribution). In filtration, a multilayer lattice retains those particles that are unable to follow the tortuous channels of the filter.
• Sieving is the method of separating particles of different sizes (each particle being solid). whereas,  filtration is the method of separating a solid from a liquid.
• Example of Filtration- Brewing coffee involves passing hot water through the ground coffee and a filter. The liquid coffee is the filtrate. Steeping tea is much the same, whether you use a tea bag (paper filter) or tea ball (usually, a metal filter).
• Example of Sieving- Used in flour mills or building sites. Impurities such as husks and stones are extracted from wheat at flour mill. They remove pebbles and stones from sand by sieving.
