What is the definition of sedimentation, decantation, filtration ?
Answers
Answer Verified. Settling down of heavier insoluble particles/ solids from a mixture is called sedimentation. Like mud settles from muddy water. Decantation is pouring out of upper clear layer of liquid into another container to separate two immiscible liquids.
Explanation:
Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier.
Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension.
Filtration, the process in which solid particles in a liquid or gaseous fluid are removed by the use of a filter medium that permits the fluid to pass through but retains the solid particles.
