Decantation

Index Decantation

Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. [1]

Centrifugation

Centrifugation is a mechanical process which involves the use of the centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, medium viscosity and rotor speed. Decantation and Centrifugation are laboratory techniques.

See Decantation and Centrifugation

Centrifuge

A centrifuge is a device that uses centrifugal force to subject a specimen to a specified constant force, for example to separate various components of a fluid.

See Decantation and Centrifuge

Decanter centrifuge

A centrifuge is a device that employs a high rotational speed to separate components of different densities.

See Decantation and Decanter centrifuge

Density

Density (volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume.

See Decantation and Density

Desiccant

A desiccant is a hygroscopic substance that is used to induce or sustain a state of dryness (desiccation) in its vicinity; it is the opposite of a humectant.

See Decantation and Desiccant

Gravity

In physics, gravity is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things that have mass.

See Decantation and Gravity

Miscibility

Miscibility is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution).

See Decantation and Miscibility

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm).

See Decantation and Nanotechnology

Potassium bitartrate

Potassium bitartrate, also known as potassium hydrogen tartrate, with formula KC4H5O6, is a chemical compound with a number of uses.

See Decantation and Potassium bitartrate

Precipitation (chemistry)

In an aqueous solution, precipitation is the "sedimentation of a solid material (a precipitate) from a liquid solution". Decantation and precipitation (chemistry) are liquid-solid separation.

See Decantation and Precipitation (chemistry)

Sedimentation

Sedimentation is the deposition of sediments. Decantation and Sedimentation are laboratory techniques and liquid-solid separation.

See Decantation and Sedimentation

Separation process

A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or a solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures, a scientific process of separating two or more substances in order to obtain purity. Decantation and separation process are Analytical chemistry.

See Decantation and Separation process

Separatory funnel

A separatory funnel, also known as a separation funnel, separating funnel, or colloquially sep funnel, is a piece of laboratory glassware used in liquid-liquid extractions to separate (partition) the components of a mixture into two immiscible solvent phases of different densities. Decantation and separatory funnel are Alchemical processes, Analytical chemistry and laboratory techniques.

See Decantation and Separatory funnel

Solubility

In chemistry, solubility is the ability of a substance, the solute, to form a solution with another substance, the solvent.

See Decantation and Solubility

Sugar beet

A sugar beet is a plant whose root contains a high concentration of sucrose and which is grown commercially for sugar production.

See Decantation and Sugar beet

Sugar industry

The sugar industry subsumes the production, processing and marketing of sugars (mostly sucrose and fructose).

See Decantation and Sugar industry

Suspension (chemistry)

In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation.

See Decantation and Suspension (chemistry)

Test tube

A test tube, also known as a culture tube or sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open at the top and closed at the bottom.

See Decantation and Test tube

Wine

Wine is an alcoholic drink made from fermented fruit.

See Decantation and Wine
