I restored the links to various kinds of filters because

  1. water is a chemical, and water filters are important in chemistry;
  2. those filters are used for other chemicals as well;
  3. this is the likely path that a reader will follow to ge to those pages.

[edit] Citation

I can't find a citation for "filtrand".--Shakujo 08:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

It shouldn't need a specific citation, it's a general term when used in this way. If you do a simple web search you should find that it's been used in patents, technical journals, etc. I'll see if I can find a more difinitive source to site, though. -- Bfesser 18:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm german-speaking and Chemistry master. 'Filtrand' is imho uncommon and sounds German to me, the proper english might be 'filtrant'? Anyway, I like the synonym 'retentate' (and its counterpart 'permeate') better, since it is more descriptive and less confusing than filtrate/filtrant. --83.76.128.23 (talk) 01:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
