Filtration
Filtration is understood to be the process by which an element is placed through a type of sieve or filter through which its parts are separated, those parts that do not pass through its size being retained and those that do pass through the filter being filtered. filter space. The term filtration can also be used symbolically or metaphorically to designate those phenomena in which data or information is passed from one space to another.
We could describe filtration as a physical process that causes an element to be divided into parts according to its thickness or size. We speak of a physical process because it is a process that has to do with the way in which particles interact in the environment, in space, and not with formulas or chemical elements. In fact, filtration could also be understood as a mechanical process that does not need to be artificially stimulated through the use of chemicals or other types of products.
Leakage can occur in many basic and common everyday actions, for example when coffee is filtered. To do so, it is necessary to have very delicate filters with very small pores that only allow the passage of water and that retain the coffee beans or ground coffee, causing the hot water that is filtered to be transformed into the drink known as coffee. .
As said, the leak can also be something vague, that is, with a symbolic nuance. For example, when secret information about something or someone is leaked and this information is thus known by many people or at least by more people than before. These types of leaks can sometimes be very controversial since for some particular reason it is kept secret.
