Filtration is commonly the mechanical or physical operation which is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass. Oversize solids in the fluid are retained‚ but the separation is not complete; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and filtrate will contain fine particles (depending on the pore size and filter thickness). Filtration is also used to describe some biological processes‚ especially in water treatment and sewage

Name: Affiliated Institution: Course: Date: Water Filtration The methods used in this experiment are simple filtration methods which are used by many water companies worldwide. In this experiment simple lab equipment was used‚ after contaminating water with various contaminants the water was filtered by using cheesecloth‚ sand‚ activated charcoal and alum. The contaminants used in the experiment are the most common and the most hazardous. They include; cleaning detergents

Gel filtration GEL FILTRATION OF PROTIENS Aim: The aim of this experiment is to identify proteins from a complex mixture using the gel filtration technique also known as size exclusion chromatography. This technique is widely used by biochemists when proteins larger than the pores are excluded from the column and the smaller molecules elute last and then collected in test tubes for examination by spectroscopic techniques. The red/brown proteins‚ in particular‚ will be observed closely

Answers to Questions Activity 1: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) (pp. 2–4) 9. All solutes except albumin are able to diffuse into the right beaker. Using distilled water in the right beaker and either the 100 MWCO or 200 MWCO membrane will remove urea from the left beaker and leave albumin If the left beaker contains NaCl‚ urea‚ and albumin‚ you can selectively remove urea by dispensing a concentration of NaCl into the right beaker equivalent to that in the left beaker and by using

Procedure: First‚ you have the measure the foul water sample and record it in your data table. You have to record what you see and smell before you filter anything out. Then you have the separate the oil from the water using

Water Filtration There is a wide range of filtration methods currently being used all over the world. Some can be dangerous to handle and very reactive while others can be used in an any day household. Although no filtration method is perfect‚ combining different forms of filtration can provide near-perfect water. One note to take is that most of the time the more that is filtered‚ the pricier the method is. Three very effective methods of water filtration are “Ion Exchange”‚ UV light‚ and

Practical 2: Observation of mammalian kidney model and tissue slides. Analyzing kidney filtration using simple filtration system Introduction: Kidney is part of mammalian’s body endocrine system. Every mammals have a pair of kidneys that is located at the middle back of the body and symmetrically beside the spine and below the rib cage. A kidney approximately 0.5% of the organism body weight. Every kidney will receive huge amount of blood to enable them to perform important task. The base unit of
