Answer:
Sedimentation is a process of settling down of the heavier particles present in a liquid mixture. ... Decantation is the process of separating liquid components of a mixture while the solid component has settled at the bottom as sediments, that is, transferring a liquid from another container.
For example, in a mixture of sand and water, sand settles down at the bottom. This is sedimentation.
When water is separated from the mixture of sand and water, it is decantation.
