Depth filtration refers to a separation process where a fluid passes through a porous material, trapping particles within the depth of the medium. It is used for removing contaminants, particulates, and impurities from liquids or gases by trapping particles within the filter media, allowing for a high dirt-holding capacity and efficient filtration of complex fluids.
