Answer:

Sedimentation is the process of allowing particles in suspension in water to settle out of the suspension under the effect of gravity. ... Sedimentation is one of several methods for application prior to filtration: other options include dissolved air flotation and some methods of filtration.

Explanation:

Sedimentation/settling is a process of gravity separation of solids from their suspension. When such separation aims at the clarified effluent, the process is called 'clarification'. The process is termed 'thickening' when such separating process promotes thickening of the sludge produced.

In the sedimentation process, heavier components of the mixture settle on the bottom, due to gravity. Decantation follows sedimentation. The decantation process involves pouring clear, upper liquid out of the container, without disturbing the sedimen
