Filtration
Filtration processes separate particles from fluids to ensure their purity and quality. In contrast to simple gravimetric filtration, vacuum pumps optimize filtration by creating a pressure differential that moves fluid through the filter more efficiently.

Understanding the Filtration Process
In contrast to simple gravimetric filtration, a vacuum pump creates a pressure differential to more effectively draw the liquid through the filter.
The efficiency of vacuum filtration can be affected by a number of factors, including the porosity of the filter, the viscosity of the liquid being filtered, and the type of particle being removed. When selecting a vacuum pump, it is important to consider the volume of your flask and the number of filtration units or "funnels". A vacuum that is too weak will cause the process to take longer, while a vacuum that is too strong may cause the filter to tear or collapse.
