Decantation :-

Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension.

〰️Principle:-

The layer closer to the top of the container—the less dense of the two liquids, or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out—is poured off, leaving the other component or the more dense liquid of the mixture behind. An incomplete separation is witnessed during the separation of two immiscible liquids.

Decantation is pouring away a liquid from solid impurities which have settled at the bottom of the container. Two liquids with a different density which have separated into two layers can similarly be separated by pouring the less dense liquid out.
