It is defined as the separation process in which two immiscible liquids are separated. This is done by pouring out the clear upper layer of liquid. Separation of a mixture of oil from water is an example of 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.
