Sintered glass crucibles typically use a type of filter paper known as "sintered glass filter discs" or "sintered glass filters." These filters are made from finely powdered glass that is sintered to form a porous structure, allowing for the filtration of fine particles while maintaining chemical resistance. They are commonly used in laboratory applications for filtration, drying, and other processes where durability and purity are essential.
You can filter it off using a sinted glass crucible, fine filter paper, a vacuum pump and a side-arm flask. If you don't have that sort of equipment: a filter funnel, filter paper and a conical flask should do.
They are used for vacuum filtration to separate crystals, or solids, from a liquid. Usually a neoprene adapter is used to fit the funnel to a flask that is attached to some sort of vacuum. A filter paper is used to make sure no solids get through, or clog, the funnel. Typically, it is advised, that hot solutions are not used in vacuum filtration because the reduced pressure will cause solvents to evaporate, and the solid will precipitate out; causing the funnel, and pores of the filter paper, to clog.
In gravimetric analysis, alternatives to a glass funnel for filtration include filter paper and sintered glass funnels, which can effectively separate precipitates from the supernatant. Additionally, membrane filters made from materials like nylon or cellulose can be employed for fine particle retention. Vacuum filtration setups using Buchner funnels can also enhance the efficiency of the filtration process.
A Pasteur pipette or glass dropper can be used to drop the solvent onto the filter paper during the filtration process.
Powdering a substance on a watch glass prevents loss of material through adsorption or static cling to filter paper, which can retain some of the substance. It also allows for easier transfer of the powdered material for further experimentation or analysis.
Sintered glass crucible is a glass mesh used for filteration. It can be used instead of filter paper, and in fact it is preferrable to filter paper. Sintered glass crucible must be cleaned then dried to constant weig befoe it can be used to filter out precipitates such as silver chloride.
Gooch crucible is preferred over filter paper for tasks that involve high temperatures or aggressive chemicals, as it is made of inert materials like porcelain or nickel. It provides better filtration and can withstand harsher conditions without degrading, making it more reliable and durable compared to filter paper.
Sintered glass is a glass mesh used for filtration. It can be used instead of filter paper, and in fact is preferable to filter paper. Its other advantage is that it is permanent so you can get various different pieces of glassware with sintered glass in it e.g. an enclosed filter suitable for filtration under nitrogen. As for the porosity.... Porosity of sintered glass is labelled by integers from 0-5 (viz. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) where 0 has a pore size of 160-250 micrometres and is considered course filtration, that is fluid will pass through it quickly and some finer solids will pass through. Whereas, porosity 5 has a pore size of 4-10 micrometers so even ultrafine solids will not pass through and liquids will drop through. I hope this is clear, makes sense and is helpful.

To increase the rate of filtration through a Gooch crucible, you can try a few things: use a vacuum filtration setup, reduce the particle size of the substance being filtered, apply gentle suction to the filter paper, and ensure that the crucible is properly packed with the filter aid to support faster drainage.

The presence of the wet filter paper will alter the light's path due to refraction, allowing for measurements to determine the glass's index of refraction. By measuring the angles of incidence and refraction and applying Snell's Law, the glass's refractive index can be calculated. The refractive index of the glass can be determined by comparing the angle of incidence and refraction with and without the wet filter paper.

Gooch Crucible is made up of porcelain. It has a perforated bottom which is covered with paper pulp or a filter paper cut to its size. In order to increase the rate of filtration, the crucibles are placed in a suction filtering apparatus.
