Lime milk acts as a filter aid in the filtration process using leaf filters; what is the specific mechanism by which it serves as a filter aid?
Lime milk is used as a filter aid primarily to form a filter cake on the surface of the filter cloth, serving as a filtering medium； Without this filter cake, during leaf filtration, the fine particles will pass through the filter cloth, rendering the filtering process ineffective. Therefore, adding some lime milk forms a filter cake layer to aid filtration!
