Abstract from DBPedia
    Microfiltration is a type of physical filtration process where a contaminated fluid is passed through a special pore-sized membrane filter to separate microorganisms and suspended particles from process liquid. It is commonly used in conjunction with various other separation processes such as ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis to provide a product stream which is free of undesired contaminants.

    精密ろ過膜（精密濾過膜、せいみつろかまく）とはろ過膜の一種で、孔の大きさが概ね50ナノメートル（ナノメートルは1ミリメートルの百万分の一）から10マイクロメートル（＝10,000ナノメートル）の膜のこと。孔は限外ろ過膜よりも大きい。英語ではMicrofiltration Membraneといい、その頭文字をとってMF膜とも呼ばれる。
