Sedimentation can be defined as the removal of solid particles from a suspension by settling under gravity. Application of sedimentation process occurs in water treatment where it is used to remove impurities that are able to settle in water through coagulation and flocculation.
Sedimentation takes time to allow particles to settle out of the water. It requires sufficient time for gravity to pull the heavier particles to the bottom of the water container, allowing for clear water at the top. Rushing the process can result in incomplete removal of particles and a less effective purification of the water.
Abstraction of a proton refers to the removal of a proton from a molecule. This can occur during chemical reactions or in the presence of a strong base. The process of proton abstraction can lead to the formation of new chemical species with different properties.

Flocs are clusters of particles that agglomerate together, often observed in water treatment processes. They typically consist of organic and inorganic materials, including bacteria, algae, and suspended solids. The formation of flocs is crucial for sedimentation and filtration, as they facilitate the removal of impurities from water. In wastewater treatment, flocculation helps enhance the efficiency of the purification process.
In banking terms, withdrawal means the removal of money from a bank account. So the opposite is deposit, the adding of money to a bank account

In water purification plants, the settling process is aided by the addition of coagulants such as aluminum sulfate or ferric chloride. These chemicals promote the aggregation of suspended particles into larger flocs, which can then settle more easily to the bottom of the settling tanks. This process enhances the removal of impurities and clarifies the water before it undergoes further treatment. Additionally, the use of flocculants can improve the efficiency of sedimentation by encouraging the formation of even larger and denser flocs.

-centesis is the medical terminology combining form meaning surgical withdrawal of fluid from a body cavity. So arthorcentesis is withdrawal of fluid from a joint, and tympanocentesis is withdrawal of fluid from behind the eardrum.
