Explanation:

Filtration is a physical process that is used to separate a mixture of solid solute from a liquid solvent. It requires the use of a filter paper which allows the passage of the liquid component of the mixture while the solid solute remains on the filter paper.

The liquid solvent that passes through the filter paper is called filtrate while the solid solute that remains on the filter paper is called filtride.

Filtration is can only be used to separate mixtures but not compounds.

A mixture is substance containing two or more constituents that are physically combined while a compound is a substance containing two or more atoms that chemically combined.

A common example of filtration process is the separation of a mixture of water and stone.  This mixture is poured over a filter paper, the water passes through the filter paper while the stone remains on a filter paper
