Answer

Filtration is one of the most common methods used to separate insoluble solids from liquids. In this process, a filter is used to trap solid particles while allowing the liquid to pass through.

Two commonly used materials for filtration are:

  1. Cotton cloth
  2. Filter paper

These materials have tiny pores that allow liquid to pass through while holding back solid particles. For example, tea leaves are removed from tea using a strainer or cloth filter.
