Answer 2

●Decantation is a process to separate mixtures by removing a liquid layer that is free of a precipitate.

● The purpose may be to obtain a decant (liquid free from particulates) or to recover the precipitate.

● Decantation relies on gravity to pull precipitate out of solution, so there is always some loss of product, either from precipitate not fully falling out of solution or from leaving some liquid when separating it from the solid portion.
