The size of the mesh or type of filter paper will govern the size of the solid particles separated from a gas or liquid stream. Drinking water filters generally contain Activated Charcoal (carbon) that will ADSORB chemicals like Chlorine and Lead compounds and certain gaseous and solid particles out of the water, making it more palatable. (ADSORPTION is the ability of the molecules of some solids to hold on their surface, molecules of other substances...Solids, Liquids and Gases...This type of substance is called an 'Adsorbent'). (ABSORPTION refers to gases being absorbed into liquids called 'Absorbents'). Sediment filters are made of a fine mesh or, can be filter papers.
