Ultrafiltration

A kind of low-pressure membrane filtration process in which hydrostatic pressure forces a liquid against a semipermeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane (typically with a pore size of l 0.1–to 0.01 micrometres).
