Best Answer

Particles cannot be filtered from colloids.

A colloid is distinguished from a solution and a suspension by the particles because they usually have an electric charge, and they repel each other, so they do not collect into larger particles that would settle out like those in solutions, and suspensions.

A suspension usually has visible particles that float about in a fluid. A colloid on the other hand is very small and cannot be seen by the naked eyes.
