Activity FOUR There is a direct relationship between the MWCO and the filtration rate; the higher the MWCO‚ the higher the filtration rate. Powdered charcoal is the solute that did not appear in the filtrate when using any MWCO membranes. As pressure increases‚ the filtration rate also increases‚ as long as the MWCO does not decrease. Since we have no control over the MWCO of a living membrane‚ we can increase the rate of filtration by increasing the pressure. The molecular weight
