Sw. filter , filtre , a filter, OF. feutre , felt, a filter, F. feutre , felt, The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia: Dictionary filter = Sp. Pg. filtro = It. feltro, felt, bottom perforated with fine holes which are covered with a thin asbestos felt. In the arts filters are used to purify water, syrups, vinegar, the juices of cane and fruits, oils, liquors, sewage, liquid by-products, and mol ten metals. The materials used in trat i on are gravel, sand, charcoal, bone-black, sponge, fabrics, woven wire netting, asbestos, porous brick and stone, mineral wool, rope, paper, and powdered gla . The devices used to hold the straining material are in a great variety of forms, from a simple wick or loose cloth hung over the edge of a bowl of water and acting as a capillary strainer, to a settling pond filtering 400,000 gallons of water in a day. The most common filter is a cone of bibulous paper, or a square of cloth sewed together to form a bag (called Hippo crates's sleeve). Filters also consist of porous brick or stone partitions, as in a cistern, or ve els partly filled with sand and gravel, or tubes filled with sponge, charcoal, or sand, etc. Domestic filters are used in connection with pumps and water-faucets. To cause the liquid to pa through a filter, the weight of a column of water, the pre ure of the atmosphere, mechanical force from a screw or from steam pre ure, and centrifugal force are employed, as in the centrifugal filter, oil- filter, vacuum - filter, and many forms of pre ure-filters. Filters are also made reversible and intermittent, so that the filtering material may be freed from the collected sediment. In some pre ure-filters the liquid or syrup is within a cylinder, and is forced outward through rings of fabric under steam-pre ure; in others it is forced through a series of strainers piled one above another. Where bone-black and charcoal are used, there is also a filtering or straining of a certain amount of gas and organic material that would pa through any other filter without detention. Filters are also used to remove dust and floating matter from air, but such devices are more properly termed air - strainers. colour. Boyle, Works, I. 365.
