  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A fabric filtration device used to remove particulate matter from a gas stream by passing the gas through a porous textile material. Particles are captured on the surface and within the fibers of the filter bags, forming a dust cake that enhances filtration efficiency. These filters are highly effective for collecting fine dusts in industrial applications.",
