Sedimentation and Filtration are the techniques used to separate soil from water.

What is sedimentation?

  • Sedimentation is a process based on gravity, thereby allowing the heavier particles (soil) to settle down and the clear liquid (water) is collected at the top phase.
  • The heavier particles that settle down are called the sediment.

What is filtration?

  • Filtration is also a physical separation process, that allows the suspension to flow through a fine filtration medium.
  • The filtration medium can either be a filter paper or a wire mesh.
  • When the soil water suspension is allowed to flow through a filtration medium, the soil remains in the filter paper, and water that is collected in a separate beaker is known as filtrate.
