That portion of a filtration system that provides the liquid-solid separation, such as close-woven textiles or metal screens, papers, nonwoven fabrics, granular beds, or porous media. 2, record 1, English, - filter%20medium
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The choice of filter medium is often the most important consideration in assuring satisfactory operation of a filter.... Filter media are manufactured from cotton, synthetic polymers, glass, asbestos, cellulose, metal, and other fiber-forming materials; from carbon, metal, refractories, synthetic polymers, and other porous or perforated solids; and from sand and other particulate solids capable of forming a permeable bed. 3, record 1, English, - filter%20medium

La suspension à filtrer est appelée préfilt. La séparation se fait grâce au milieu filtrant [...] qui retient les particules et laisse passer le liquide. Ce liquide est appelé filtrat ou eau-mère et la couche de particules retenues sur le milieu filtrant est le gâteau ou tourteau. [...] Les milieux filtrants, qu'il s'agisse de masses filtrantes agglomérées ou non (sable, diatomite, quartz, fibres de coton, pierres poreuses, verres et métaux frittés) ou de membranes filtrantes (tissus, papiers, collodions, etc.), doivent remplir un certain nombre de conditions : résistances mécanique et chimique suffisantes, bonne capacité de rétention des solides, de manière à donner un filtrat clair, même dans le cas de suspensions très fines, etc. 2, record 1, French, - milieu%20filtrant

In these electrodes a support, containing an ionic(either cationic or anionic) species or an uncharged species, forms the ion-selective membrane which is usually interposed between two aqueous solutions. The support can either be porous(e. g. Millipore filter, glass frit, etc.) or non-porous(e. g. glass or inert polymeric material such as PVC, yielding with the ion-exchanger and the solvent a "solidified" homogeneous mixture). These electrodes exhibit a response due to the presence of the ion-exchange material in the membrane. 1, record 4, English, - non%2Dcrystalline%20electrode

Un support contenant une espèce soit cationique, soit anionique ou une espèce neutre constitue une membrane sélective qui est généralement interposée entre deux solutions aqueuses. Le support peut être poreux (filtre millipore, verre fritté, etc.) ou non poreux (par exemple, verre ou matériaux polymétriques inertes comme le CPV, formant un échangeur d'ions et le solvant une membrane solidifiée homogène). Ces électrodes présentent une réponse liée à la présence du matériau échangeur d'ions dans la membrane. 1, record 4, French, - %C3%A9lectrode%20non%20cristalline
