Best Answer

Paper, charcoal, various fabrics, fiberglass, rocks, sand, cotton wool, thin porcelain plates...asbestos used to be used in filters but that's illegal now. It helps to know what kind of filter you want to make, because a filter that can remove fish from an intake water stream to a power plant is made of different stuff than a filter that can remove bacteria from the air a surgeon exhales.

What type of mixture is residue in filtration?

A filtration residue is the solid substance left in the filter media(filter paper, sponge, activated charcoal, etc.)... Whenever filtration occurs when the solid substance is separated from the liquid the recovered liquid is called filtrate while the recovered solid is called residue or precipitate. It is sometimes associated with the residue left after decantaion but to be more specific some people call it filtration residue to clarify the statement.

What are anisotropes?

Anisotropy is the property of being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which means homogeneity in all directions. It can be defined as a difference in a physical property (absorbance, refractive index, density, etc.) for some material when measured along different axes. An example is the light coming through a polarising lens. A chemical anisotropic filter, as used to filter particles, is a filter with increasingly smaller interstitial spaces in the direction of filtration so that the proximal regions filter out larger particles and distal regions increasingly remove smaller particles, resulting in greater flow-through and more efficient filtration.

What are some examples of filtration?

There are three basic kinds of filtration, chemical, mechanical and biological. An example of chemical filtration would be the use of ferric oxide to adsorb phosphates.

What kind of oil filter an air filter?

WIX! If you look at a filter cut open and see how many fins or folds in the single sheet of filter fiber Wix has the most for maximum flow and filtration that you can find for most cars and trucks with out having to look to far or hard. Fram is a good quality brand name and makes some filters that have the extra material in them. I agree the Wix filter is an excellent filter, but so is the Purolator Pure One filter.
