filter paper

Lab separation sheet

Filter paper is a porous paper designed to let liquids pass through while trapping solid particles.

It's essential in chemistry labs for separating precipitates from solutions, and in everyday life for brewing coffee.

The paper comes in various grades—finer pores catch smaller particles but filter more slowly.

She folded the filter paper into a cone and placed it in the funnel.
