give me a picture of decantation with labels

The process of decantation works by allowing solids to settle at the bottom of the mixture. This is a process that is used to separate mixtures.
Decantation can be seen in daily life when separating solid particles from liquid in a mixture such as when pouring water from cooked pasta in a colander. Another example is when pouring wine from a bottle into a decanter to separate any sediment that may have formed.
Both decantation and filtration can be effective methods, but they are used for different substances. Decantation is used for solutions that can be separated and filtration is used for solutions with thicker particles that can be filtered out.
Another way of separating sand and water aside from decantation is filtration.
Filtration is more efficient but decantation is a very simple and cheap method.
decantation
Decantation is a process used to separate a mixture of liquid and solid particles that have settled. Examples include pouring off the clear liquid from a settled suspension of sand in water, or pouring off the liquid portion from a settled mixture of oil and water.
Decantation is the process of separating mixtures by removing the liquid and leaving behind the sediment. The liquid portion is called the decant.
supernanant
Sedimentation is the settling of solid particles in a liquid over time due to gravity, while decantation is the pouring off of the liquid portion of a mixture while leaving the solid sediment behind. Sedimentation is a result of gravity, while decantation is a physical separation technique.
