Compare with Definitions

Filtration

Filtration is a physical or chemical separation process that separates solid matter and fluid from a mixture using a filter medium that has a complex structure through which only the fluid can pass. Solid particles that cannot pass through the filter medium are described as oversize and the fluid that passes through is called the filtrate.

Centrifugation

Centrifugation is a mechanical process which involves the use of the centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, medium viscosity and rotor speed. The more dense components of the mixture migrate away from the axis of the centrifuge, while the less dense components of the mixture migrate towards the axis.

The action or process of filtering something
Small particles are difficult to remove without filtration

Centrifugation

An apparatus consisting essentially of a compartment spun about a central axis to separate contained materials of different specific gravities, or to separate colloidal particles suspended in a liquid.

Filtration

Centrifugation

An apparatus in which humans or animals are enclosed and which is revolved to simulate the effects of acceleration in a spacecraft.

Filtration

The act or process of filtering; the mechanical separation of a liquid from the undissolved particles floating in it.
