| Filtration |
| For straightforward filtrations where only the filtrate is required (e.g. removing unwanted solids or decolourising charcoal) a filter funnel (1) and fluted filter paper (2) is used. In situations where the solid is required, a Buchner flask (3) is fitted with a Buchner funnel (5) using a Buchner collar (4) to form a good seal when under suction. Flat filter paper (6) of the appropriate diameter is used in the Buchner funnel. |
