Centrifugation is a technique used for the separation of particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, viscosity of the medium and rotor speed. The particles are suspended in a liquid medium and placed in a centrifuge tube. ... Centrifugation is making that natural process much faster.

Answer:
- sometimes the solid particles in a liquid are very small and they passed through a filter paper
- such mixtures are separated by centrifugation
- the suspended particles of a substance in a liquid can be separated very rapidly by using the method of centrifugation
- in this method of centrifugation the mixture of fine suspended particles in a liquid is taken in a test tube called centrifuge tube
- the test tube is placed in a centrifuge machine and rotated rapidly for sometime
- as the mixture rotates rapidly a force acts on the heavier suspended particles in it and brings them down to the bottom of the test tube
- the clear liquid being lighter remains on the top
