Abstract
An filtration apparatus is disclosed. The filtration apparatus is to remove non-liquid contaminant from liquid carrier. The filtration apparatus may include an electrode having a first surface, wherein the electrode is to generate an electric field towards liquid carrier containing non-liquid contaminant. The filtration apparatus may include a reservoir having a wall defined at least partially by the first surface, the reservoir to house a volume of liquid carrier. The filtration apparatus may include a plurality of plates, each plate having an accumulation surface, wherein a portion of each plate is within the reservoir, so as to be submerged in the volume of liquid carrier. An electric field formed between the first surface and the accumulation surface of each plate of the plurality of plates may act on the liquid carrier, to thereby cause non-liquid contaminant to adhere to an accumulation surface of a plate of the plurality of plates. A method and a print apparatus are also disclosed.
