  "term": "Permeate",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The portion of a fluid mixture that passes through a selective membrane. This stream is enriched in the components that preferentially traverse the membrane, while the remaining components are retained on the feed side. The composition of the permeate depends on the membrane's selectivity and the operating conditions of the separation process.",
