- 11. - A mechanical or physical operation which is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass.
- 12. - In chemistry, a substance formed from two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion. In general, it can also mean something complex or made up of various parts.
- 13. - In chemistry, the process of forming a solid from a gas or solution without passing through a liquid phase. In legal contexts, it refers to the act of giving evidence under oath.
- 15. - The process of obtaining something, especially a substance, from a mixture or compound by chemical or physical means. In chemistry, it often refers to the separation of a component from a mixture.
