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.
