Filtration is commonly the mechanical or physical operation which is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass. Oversize solids in the fluid are retained‚ but the separation is not complete; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and filtrate will contain fine particles (depending on the pore size and filter thickness). Filtration is also used to describe some biological processes‚ especially in water treatment and sewage

Name: Affiliated Institution: Course: Date: Water Filtration The methods used in this experiment are simple filtration methods which are used by many water companies worldwide. In this experiment simple lab equipment was used‚ after contaminating water with various contaminants the water was filtered by using cheesecloth‚ sand‚ activated charcoal and alum. The contaminants used in the experiment are the most common and the most hazardous. They include; cleaning detergents

ring stand filter paper stirring rod charcoal sand foul water sample rubber tubing pinch clamp iron ring plastic cup scoop Objective/Purpose: To purify a sample of foul water using oil-water separation‚ sand filtration‚ and charcoal adsorption and filtration. Procedure: First‚ you have the measure the foul water sample and record it in your data table. You have to record what you see and smell before you filter anything out. Then you have the separate the oil from the water using

Gel filtration GEL FILTRATION OF PROTIENS Aim: The aim of this experiment is to identify proteins from a complex mixture using the gel filtration technique also known as size exclusion chromatography. This technique is widely used by biochemists when proteins larger than the pores are excluded from the column and the smaller molecules elute last and then collected in test tubes for examination by spectroscopic techniques. The red/brown proteins‚ in particular‚ will be observed closely

obesity percentages. Sucrose is the leading added sweetener in in the manufacture of foods in the Unites States and is the biggest source of fructose. Sucrose and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are metabolized identically and react the same way to insulin‚ leptin and ghrelin. Sucrose is indifferent from HFCS in causing obesity. Compared to glucose‚ sucrose is extracted directly from the liver while glucose goes directly to the bloodstream causing larger sugar spikes. HFCS and sucrose have an identical

Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

The rate of fermentation is faster when there is more sucrose concentration because it means there is more glucose‚ which in return means more carbon dioxide production. The sucrose concentrations were 0%‚ 1%‚ 5%‚ and 10%. The 0% sucrose concentration is just normal‚ plain water. Yeast‚ a single celled eukaryotic fungi‚ was put into the solutions. It uses fermentation to make more carbon dioxide and alcohol. In the 0% solution‚ no carbon dioxide had been produced. At the start‚ the depth of the

Practical 2: Observation of mammalian kidney model and tissue slides. Analyzing kidney filtration using simple filtration system Introduction: Kidney is part of mammalian’s body endocrine system. Every mammals have a pair of kidneys that is located at the middle back of the body and symmetrically beside the spine and below the rib cage. A kidney approximately 0.5% of the organism body weight. Every kidney will receive huge amount of blood to enable them to perform important task. The base unit of

Water Filtration There is a wide range of filtration methods currently being used all over the world. Some can be dangerous to handle and very reactive while others can be used in an any day household. Although no filtration method is perfect‚ combining different forms of filtration can provide near-perfect water. One note to take is that most of the time the more that is filtered‚ the pricier the method is. Three very effective methods of water filtration are “Ion Exchange”‚ UV light‚ and

Plan a procedure that will allow you to compare quantitavely the glucose concentration in fresh samples of orange‚ lemon and grapefruit juice. Aim: The aim of this investigation is to produce a set of data which will enable comparison of the glucose concentrations of orange‚ lemon and grapefruit juice. Research: Benedict’s Reagent is a mixture of sodium compounds and copper sulphate. The copper ions are reduced by fructose (a reducing sugar) to form copper oxide‚ thus turning it from blue
