With no filtration, there would be no aquarium. This process removes waste materials from aquarium water.
Method of cleaning aquarium water, there are 3 basic types. "Mechanical" removes particulate material. Chemical" removal of dissolved substances by passing through a type of media, like carbon. "Biological" which is the process of changing from a harmful substance to a less harmful one, by bacteria.
a method for separating the components of a mixture containing a solid and a liquid
In the excretory physiology of some animals, the process by which the initial urine is formed; water and most solutes are transferred into the excretory tract, while proteins are retained in the blood or hemolymph.
separation of solid particles from a liquid by passing the mixture through a material that retains the solid particles.
Forcing wine or beer through a porous material capable of trapping larger particles (including yeast, haze-causing proteins, etc.). Filtration of beer removes the yeast, requiring either forced carbonation or the addition of more yeast for natural carbonation. Filtration of wine is almost standard in the commercial winemaking community, but less common in home winemaking due to the tendency to oxidize or otherwise adversely affect the wine. Alternatives to wine filtration are patience, clarifiers, and cold-conditioning.
There are four basic types of filtration; biological, mechanical, chemical, and sterilization. There are two types of contaminants in aquarium water, dissolved chemicals and physical particulates. Filtration is the method used to alter these compounds to maintain a healthy environment for the animals in the aquarium. See each type of filtration listed in glossary.

a naturally occurring or artificial process in which water passes through filters and is depleted of certain minerals and other elements.
the process of passing water through a filter to remove particles. In water treatment, the filter material is typically sand, sometimes with a layer of anthracite (coal) above.

In contrast to “settling,†where solids are allowed to fall out of the juice naturally, this involves straining them out with a filter, thus speeding up the process.
the mechanical process which removes particulate matter by separating water from solid material, usually by passing it through sand.
Clarifying the wine by pumping it through a medium such as cellulose, diatomaceous earth or a synthetic membrane, leaving fine particles behind. Modern filters can remove particles as tiny as yeast cells and other organisms that may spoil the wine.

Removal of particles from a fluid by passing the fluid through a permeable material.
A finishing process, performed before bottling. The wine is filtered in order to remove solid impurities, such as dead yeast cells. Although it may help to clarify the wine, it is also accused of stripping wine of flavour and character, and there is a vogue towards very light filtration or even no filtration at all. It differs from fining which removes soluble materials.

The act of removing sediment or other particles from a fluid by passing it through a filter.
The process of retaining soil particles by a geotextile while allowing the passage of water. The geotextile allows the water and finer soil particles to pass through while retaining those of a coarser nature. A filter cake builds up on the face of the geotextile and this is where the actual filtration of the soil particles occurs. In order to perform this function a geotextile must be able to convey a certain amount of water across the plane of the geotextile throughout its design life.
