CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
Results 1–2 of 2 for sedimentiranje
sedimentation → sedimentiranje
Sedimentation is a process of separating specifically heavier, suspended matter, than the solution is. Solid matter settles on the bottom of the vessel and the liquid above it is poured off. The settling zone is the largest portion of the sedimentation basin. This zone provides the calm area necessary for the suspended particles to settle. The sludge zone, located at the bottom of the tank, provides a storage area for the sludge before it is removed for additional treatment or disposal.
centrifugation → centrifugiranje
Centrifugation is sedimentation of particles under the influence of the centrifugal force and it is used for separation of superfine suspensions. At centrifuging forces up to 10 000 times greater than gravity force are used, and at ultracentrifuge up to 600 000 times as great.
