  • A. Radial.
  • B. Angular.
  • C. Insoluble.
  • D. Soluble

About Filtration and Crystallisation

Filtration separates an insoluble solid from a liquid using gravity or suction, while crystallisation purifies a soluble solid by forming crystals from a concentrated solution. The work includes selecting filter media, hot and cold filtration, evaporation, cooling, seeding and washing crystals, and explains why crystallisation is preferred over complete evaporation for purification.
