Information about Filter Paper
Filter paper is a semi-permeable paper barrier placed perpendicular to a liquid flow and is used to separate fine solids from liquids. In laboratories, filter paper is usually used with a filter funnel, Hirsch, or Buchner funnel.
Choice of filter paper for a given task depends on four parameters: strength, compatibility, efficiency and capacity. A coffee filter is an adequate example to evaluate these parameters and how they affect performance and results. If a coffee filter doesn't possess enough strength, many of the coffee grains will collect in the coffee pot. Compatibility, both heat and chemical, influence the same results as strength because a chemically or overheated medium is subject to structural failure. Efficiency is the retention of particles in a target category. The efficiency required is dictated by the particles or substances trying to be removed. A comparison of efficiency needs to could be compared by evaluating a screen door and filtering blood. Capacity is the ability to "hold" previously removed particles while allowing further flow. An overly efficient filter will plug up prematurely and cause excessive resistance or flow problems. A balance between particle capture and flow requirements must be met while ensuring integrity.

Paper is thin material used for writing upon, printing upon or packaging, produced by the amalgamation of fibres, typically vegetable fibers composed of cellulose, which are subsequently held together by hydrogen bonding.

perpendicular (or orthogonal) to each other if they form congruent adjacent angles. The term may be used as a noun or adjective. Thus, referring to Figure 1, the line AB is the perpendicular to CD through the point B.

A filter funnel is a laboratory funnel used for separating solids from liquids via the laboratory process of filtering.
In order to achieve this, a disk shaped piece of filter paper is usually folded into a cone and placed within the funnel.

A coffee filter is a coffee-brewing utensil, usually made of disposable paper, but recently stainless steel. The stainless steel version is used to prepare filter coffee, the form of coffee common in India.

Structural failure refers to loss of the load-carrying capacity of a component or member within a structure or of the structure itself. Structural failure is initiated when the material is stressed to its strength limit, thus causing fracture or excessive deformations.
