Question

who has invented sedimentation and decantation

Answer 1

Answer:

Sedimentation is defined as the separation process in which solids are separated from the liquid. All the solids settle down at the bottom of a beaker and on top, a clear layer of liquid is obtained. Decantation is defined as the separation process in which two immiscible liquids are separated.

Explanation:

Decantation is always followed by sedimentation. In this process first, the mixture of liquid and insoluble substance undergo sedimentation where the heavier particles get settled down to the bottom of the container then the clear liquid which is forming upper layer is transferred to another container.
