Question

Explain in detail about Sedimentation and decantation​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 sediment

Answer 2

Answer:

Sedimentation, or clarification, is the processes of letting suspended material settle by gravity.The purpose of sedimentation is to enhance the filtration process by removing particulates. For example, sand and silt can be carried in suspension in river water and on reaching the sea bed deposited by sedimentation.

Decantation is defined as the separation process in which two immiscible liquids are separated. This is done by pouring out the clear upper layer of liquid. Separation of a mixture of oil from water is an example of decantation.
