Fluted filter paper has an increase of the filter area.
Filter paper chemistry function.
Composed of cellulose fiber these filters are manufactured from high quality cotton linters treated to maximize alpha cellulose.
Used around the world in laboratories to assay sugar cane or beet.
It also creates gaps between the filter paper and the funnel in which it is resting.
The solid is left on the filter while the liquid flows below it.
The gaps provide channels for the solvent to flow.
The raw materials are different paper pulps the pulp may be from softwood hardwood fiber crops mineral fibers for high quality filters dissolving pulp and mercerised pulp are used.
Most filter papers are made on small paper machines for laboratory filters the machines may be as small as 50 cm width.
The paper is often crêped to improve porosity.
These filters are not recommended for kjeldahl estimations.
It also creates gaps between the filter paper and the funnel in which it is resting.
Qualitative filter papers are what most users would consider general purpose filter papers.
The mixture is poured from above onto a filter medium e g filter paper and gravity pulls the liquid down.
There are a vast range of applications in and out of the laboratory.
Crêped surface filter paper with medium flow rate.
The gaps provide channels for the solvent to flow.
For general laboratory use in less critical analyses.
