Commercial advantage of using settling instead of filtering to remove particles from a liquid?
I think the commercial advantage is that when settling, the particles settle to the bottom but filtering removes unwanted particles.. For example, people don't want to drink water with unhealthy particles in them, so they filter the water..
How does a igneous rock turn into an sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock, when exposed, will weather into smaller particles by mechanical and chemical means. Eventually the particles will be eroded and be transported by wind, water, ice, and gravity and eventually be deposited along with other sediments in a low lying area; could be the bottom of a sea, ocean or lake. As further and further sedimentation and accretion occur, the weight of overlying sediments compacts the particles, squeezing out air and water. Minerals then can bridge the gaps between particles, cementing them together into sedimentary rock.
What is sediment sediment?
Material that settles to the bottom of a liquid; lees. For the definition of sedimentary rock, use the link below to the related question.
What is a science kind of suspension?
In science, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solid particles remain distributed throughout a liquid without settling to the bottom or floating to the top. This is different from a solution because the solid particles remain distinct from the liquid part of the mixture where in a solution, the solid particles are indistinct from the liquid (solutions are homogeneous).
What are the purposes of emulsifying agents in emulsion?
To allow suspended solids to remain in suspension. Emulsion paint for example contains fine particles of pigment in suspension in water. The emulsifying agent prevents the pigments settling to the bottom.
What happens when you put a less dense soild and a more dense liquid together?
solid will be settling at the bottom because liquid can not be denser than solid due to their arrangements of their molecules.
What is bench heat?
is it convection. that is when the particles get hot they separate and rise until they get cold again then they go back together and go to the bottom again.
What happened when you stretched the rubber band with your hands?
The rubber band particles are compressed together from the top and bottom and outwards on both sides, this creates a lot of pressure and the particles spring back once you let go.
What happens to the particles in a suspension if they are not being mixed?
These particles will settle to the bottom of the container.
What forms when one substance is insoluble or does not dissolve in a solvent?
When a substance is insoluble or does not dissolve in a solvent, it forms a separate phase. This can be in the form of a solid settling at the bottom (sedimentation), particles suspended in the solvent (suspension), or a separate layer on top (immiscibility or phase separation).
How does flocculation work?
Coagulation: is a chemical technique which is directed towards the destabilisation of the charged colloidal particals.Flocculation: is the slow mixing technique which promotes the agglomeration of the stabilised particles.
How do calcareous oozes form?
Calcareous oozes form from the skeletal remains of very small plankton-like sea creatures settling on the bottom of the ocean upon their death.
