Definition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sedimentation is the simplest separation method and an essential concept and in the separation process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solids are separated from the liquids, and all the solids settle at the bottom, and after that a clear liquid is present at the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedimentation is a process where the heavier impurities present in the liquid settle at the bottom of the container, and after that the process takes some time to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic Principle <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Suspensions of water solids have a specific gravity which is greater and therefore water tends to settle by gravity very early , the turbulence retards by granting the storage .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly ,Inorganic suspended solids have a specific gravity of about 2.65, and organic suspended solids specific gravity is about 1.04.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the particles having specific gravity of about 1.20 or more settle down at the bottom of the tank, causing the settlement of lighter particles , is a difficult thing .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the settling down of particles at the bottom of tank phenomenon is hydraulic subsidence and each particle has its own hydraulic settling value causing hydraulic subsidence on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, tanks have designs to reduce the velocity of flow of water the suspended particles settle under the action of gravity. It is possible in two ways<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Sedimentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.\u00a0 Plain sedimentation : the suspended particles that separate under the action of gravity only, is plain sedimentation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.\u00a0 Sedimentation with Coagulates: In addition, Fine suspended particles and colloidal particles and impurities are not removed by just plain settling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, particles of size 0.006mm requires 10 hours\u00a0 to settle , certain addition of chemicals to water to remove these impurities that cant be removed by plain sedimentation, these chemicals are known as coagulants and the process is called sedimentation coagulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
