Vacuum filtration is known as negative pressure filtration.

Vacuum filtration is known as negative pressure filtration. Correct Answer True

In the process of vacuum filtration, there is no pressure applied to the filter medium therefore it is referred as negative pressure and in this the vacuum is created and the filtrate is separated from the bottom of the filter medium.
