Sedimentation
Sedimentation occurs when the suspended particles are large enough to settle to the bottom of a vessel under their own weight. Tea leaves falling to the bottom in a tea cup, and mud settling to the bottom of a pond, are examples of sedimentation in action. This process can be sped up by spinning in a centrifuge, in the case of tea leaves, by swinging "the billy" around in a circle a few times.
filtration
Solids, which do not normally settle out by sedimentation, can be separated from their suspending liquid or gas by passing the mixture through filters. Smoke filters on cigarettes, dust masks, coffee percolators, tea bags, fish tank filters and the screens in sewerage treatment plants all use filters to separate solids from a mixture.
