What do you mean by filterization?

Filterization is a process of filtering something which is commonly referred to as filtration. This is a method used to separate substances.


What is technique used to separate soil particles from water?

Fitration, sedimentation, floatation are some techniques to separate solids (soil) from liquid (water). Don't forget: evaporation (drying) the wet soil by (forced or natural) aeration (wind or van).


What would you use to separate a solid from a liquid?

Some procedures are: - filtering - decantation - crystallization - centrifugation - freeze-drying - evaporation (distillation) and condensation - fluid-bed drying - spray drying


Why filtering cannot be used to separate a solvent from a solute?

because the solute has already dissolved in the solvent so when filtering the solvent and solute go together... Filtering relies on the difference in sizes of particles of different substances. Solutes and solvents are commingled at the molecular level. There are methods of separating the two via chemical affinity that are sometimes referred to as "filtering" such as membrane separations, but they are not true filters. There are some very limited examples of filters that actually filter based on molecular sizes. Usually these are for filtering out rather large molecules or where the molecules can be made to cluster together to effectively form a larger particle. Cold filtering of beer is such an example where the cold promotes clustering of protein molecules (solute) which can then be filtered from the rest of the beer (solvent).


Why can filtering trap undissolved particles?

It does because filtering traps have very tiny holes. If the particles are not dissolved than the filtering trap will catch them.
