Sedimentation:- The process of settling down of heavier insoluble particles from mixture is called sedimentation
Decantation:- the process of transferring the clear liquid without disturbing the sediments is called Decantation
Supernatant :- the clear liquid above the sediments is called supernatant.
so basically sedimentation lets the sediments settle down, and once they are settled, removing of the liquid (supernatant) above the settled sediments is called Decantation.
Sedimentation is the deposition of the phase more dense or insoluble from a mixture.
Decantation is a process of a mixture separation; the top layer of liquid is extracted.
These two phenomenons are very related.

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 many separation techniques are there?
Some methods of separation are: - distillation - crystallization - centrifugation - cromatography - ion exchange - solvent extraction - flotation - sieving - precipitation - sedimentation/decantation - magnetic separation etc.
Can grain and husk be separated with the process of decantation?
I think decantation.
Is there another way of separating the sand from water aside from decantation what is it?
Another way of separating sand and water aside from decantation is filtration.

How can you separate soil particles from a jar of water can you separate them without using any instrument?
sedimentation and decantation
What allows a mixture to be separated into its components?
Hand Pricking, sedimentation, decantation, magnetic sepration, filteration, winnowing, sieving.
What is the term for removing solids from a liquid?
There are several terms for removing solids from a liquid: filtration, settling, decantation or sedimentation.
What is the Method called when you separate sawdust from the air?
It is called filtering.
What is the difference between sedimentation and centrifugation?
sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle down when there is a stirring in it.this is due to there motion through the fluid in response to the force acting on them centrifugation is the process of increasing the level of sedimentation by using a centrifuge.

What is used to separate insoluble solids from the liquid in a solid liquid mixturte?
The most used method is the filtration; also can be used separation after decantation, centrifugation.
What Is the difference between sediment and sediment?
in sedimentation there are particles and circumstance that allow these particles sedimented bud in participation there are not any particle and there is a sepration between cations and anions.
What is the major difference between how oil and coal are formed?
The Maine differences are the organic source materials and whether the sedimentation was in the sea or on land.
