Answer 1

Filtration and Sieving



Filtration and Sieving

Filtering, sieving and straining are all similar ways of separating mixtures. The process of this is when a grid is used to separated liquids from solids. Filter paper is like a sieve with many tiny little holes in it. Large solids are unable to fit through it but liquids and small particles can. The substance left over in the filter paper is now called the residue and the substance that passes through is called the filtrate.

There are many different types of filters around us. Some of the common ones are:

Tea strainer

Dust mask

Lint filter in clothes dryer

Rice strainer

Sand strainer
