    Filtration is done to ensure that any sort of interference will be filtered out, if any, present in the Ash. Ash particles, which are not dissolved in the diluent, may be filtered out.

    You are right. Presence of Black color means that the sample still contains organic matters. At this point we add some acid. This addition of acid facilitates to break down the Carbon strong bonds making free carbon which can easily be removed from the sample by applying additional heat.
