Solution

Sieving:
Sieving is a mechanical particle removal method in which a particle is refused passage via a hole or route that is narrower than the object itself.
Sieving is often used to segregate solid mixes that have constituents of varying sizes.
The mixes of varied sizes are placed in a sieve, which is continually pushed back and forth.
This process is used in flour mills to treat contaminated mixtures such as husk and pebbles from wheat before grinding it.
As a result, sieving is commonly used to remove the husk from wheat flour.
