Decanting is basically a fancy word for "pouring." It's not effective at all for suspensions where the suspended phase is still in suspension; it may be effective in some cases after the suspended phase settles out.


Why decanting cannot be used to separate a solution?

Decanting is not effective for separating a solution because it cannot separate the components based on their physical properties. Decanting only removes the liquid portion from the solid portion in a mixture, but it does not separate the dissolved solute from the solvent in a solution. To separate a solution, techniques like distillation or filtration are needed.
