#Mechanism of Filtration Process ▫ Filtration is the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid, by causing the latter to pass through the pores of some substance, called a filter. The liquid which has passed through the filter is called the filtrate. ▫ During the way of filtration the suspended solid material builds up on the filter medium and thereby forms a filter bed which acts as a second and often more well-organized filter medium.
