Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. ... An incomplete separation is witnessed during the separation of two immiscible liquids.It 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.Decantation is frequently used to purify a liquid by separating it from a suspension of insoluble particles (e.g. in red wine, where the wine is decanted from the potassium bitartrate crystals to avoid unsavory taste). This makes the wine more tonic and astringent.
