filtrations
Straining out impurities
Filtrations is the plural of filtration, the process of passing a substance through a filter to separate or remove unwanted elements.
The word appears most often in technical contexts—water treatment, laboratory procedures, industrial processes: Multiple filtrations were required to achieve the desired purity.
In mathematics, filtrations refers to nested sequences of structures, particularly in probability theory and algebra.
