What is the advantage of using fluted filter paper?

Answer 1

Fltuted Filter paper is essentially when you fold a sheet of filter paper in a certain way as to maximise it's surface area. More surface area means more effective filtration http://www.chem.ubc.ca/courseware/235/danalabsess/flutedfilterpaper.html

Answer 2

The advantage of using fluted filter papers is speed.

Fluting facilitates the flow through the filter body, speeding the process.

An increase in the filter surface area will also speed the process.

The fluting allows the filtrate to pass through the paper and out of the filter body faster. Each Flute acts like a relief notch. Of course, fluting a filter paper won't increase its surface area. However, the filter body will allow the use of a filter paper of much larger area if it is fluted. The combination of larger filtering area and facilitated flow, dramatically increases the speed of the filtering process.

Answer 3

Using fluted filter paper increases the filter area. In addition to this, it increases the speed of the solvent while flowing through the paper.

Answer 4

Fluted filter paper is filtered paper that is folded in such a way as to increase its surface area. Fluted filter paper is commonly used to filter the contents of a conical glass funnel.

Answer 5

Fluted filter paper is used in filtration process because fluting creates gaps between the paper and the funnel. These gaps provide channels for solvent to flow.

Answer 6

Fluted filter paper has a larger surface area than un-fluted filter paper, and this increases the speed and efficiency of the filtration.

Answer 7

Tis is the conventional, plane fliter paper.

Answer 8

To increase filtering surface area.
