Question

What is the difference between decantation and sedimentation

Answer 1

Answer:

OverviewSedimentation and decantation methods are used for the separation of insoluble substances which are heavier than liquid. In the sedimentation process, heavier components of the mixture settle on the bottom, due to gravity. Decantation follows sedimentation. The decantation process involves pouring clear, upper liquid out of the container, without disturbing the sediment.Learning objectives
