A filter funnel is a funnel shaped filter that is used to separate solids from liquids. By passing the mixture of solid and liquid parts through a filter, which is either a piece of filter paper or a glass frit, the solids remain in the filter funnel and the liquid is passed into a collection flask below. A Buchner funnel is typical kind of filter funnel.
See the Web Links to the left for more information about filter funnels.
A funnel is a pipe with a wide, often conical mouth and a narrow stem. It is used to channel liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening. Without a funnel, much spillage would occur.
