Which is more effective method of separation- decantation or filtration?
Both decantation and filtration can be effective methods, but they are used for different substances. Decantation is used for solutions that can be separated and filtration is used for solutions with thicker particles that can be filtered out.
Which is more efficient method of separating solids from liquids by filtration or by decantation?
Filtration is more efficient but decantation is a very simple and cheap method.
What is meant by the terms decantation and filtration?
The larger and heavier solid particles settle down leaving the clear liquid above it. ... At the same time, during decantation, there is a chance of the particles mixing back in the liquid. The filtration technique can be used to overcome this as well. Thus, filtration is better than sedimentation and decantation.
How do decantation and filtration differ?
Decantation is pouring off a substance into another container, leaving the sediment behind. Filtration is pouring a substance through a filter to catch any sediment.
