Answers & Comments
1.Filtration
2.Filtration is a separation process in which a mixture is passed through a filter that allows one component to pass through uninhibited but blocks another component from passing through.
In general this method sorts by size, with the filter acting as a barrier that allows smaller particles to go through but keeps larger particles back.
Think of a colander separating spaghetti from water or a coffee filter holding back coffee grounds while water passes through.
3.Filtration is a physical or chemical separation process that separates solid matter and fluid from a mixture using a filter medium that has a complex structure through which only the fluid can pass.
4.Residue is a small amount of something that is left behind. When you peel off a tag but there is some sticky stuff left, the sticky stuff is an example of residue.
