It is used to separate an insoluble solute from a liquid.

It is normally filtered by using filter paper, the liquid that passes through the paper is called filtrate, meanwhile the insoluble particles and a bit liquid left on the filter paper is called residue.

We can also separate insoluble solute from liquid by decantation.
