what is filtertion and distillation
Answers
Answer:
Filtration is a process used to separate solids from liquids or gases using a filter medium that allows the fluid to pass through but not the solid. The term "filtration" applies whether the filter is mechanical, biological, or physical. The fluid that passes through the filter is called the filtrate.
Distillation is a process where a mixture made of two or more liquids (called "components") with different boiling points can be separated from each other. The mixture is heated until one of the components boils (turns to a vapor).
Answer:
In filtration, a liquid is passed through a membrane of some kind, and only some components of the liquid are able to reach the other side. Often, filtration is used to remove particles.
In distillation, the liquid is boiled. Components with a lower boiling point come off early. For example, distillation of ethanol-water mixtures yield distillates with higher alcohol concentration than the original mash.
