Question

define filtration and decantation ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sedimentation is defined as the separation process in which solids are separated from the liquid. ... Separation of a mixture of oil from water is an example of decantation. Filtration is defined as the separation process in which insoluble impurities are separated from the solution.

Answer 2

Filtration, the process in which solid particles in a liquid or gaseous fluid are removed by the use of a filter medium that permits the fluid to pass through but retains the solid particles. ... In some processes used in the production of chemicals, both the fluid filtrate and the solid filter cake are recovered.

Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. ... An incomplete separation is witnessed during the separation of two immiscible liquids.
