Ultra filtration is widely used in industry when fine filtration or removal of organic contaminants is needed. Examples of particles in the size for separation by ultra filtration are paint pigments, ink, asbestos, tobacco smoke, gelatin, colloidal silica, tannins and lignin. In general salts and low molecular weight species can pass through the membrane while suspended solids become concentrated on the other side of the membrane.
