Loading Definition
The process used to separate mixtures of liquids and liquids containing tiny impurities by adding a chemical that sticks to the impurities and makes them heavier, which is used in sedimentation to speed up that process is called Loading. Because they are lighter, the suspended particles avoid sinking to the bottom. The loading procedure is utilized to make these suspended particles heavier and settle down. It is shown in the image added below,
Decantation
Decantation is a process of separation of liquid from solid and other immiscible liquids by removing the liquid layer at the top from the layer of liquid or solid below. It is a process deeply rooted in the tradition of winemaking. The decantation process is also used in our household by our mothers to remove smaller impurities of mud and dust from rice and pulse using water.
In general, the process of separation of solid impurities from the liquid solution is termed decantation. In this article, we learn about Decantation, Types of Decantation, Loading Decantation, and others in detail.
