Question

Name the method used for the separation of fine mud particles suspended in water.

Answer 1

Answer:

Separation of mixtures: The process of separation of different constituents of a mixture using physical methods is known as the separation of mixtures.

The separation of the mixture of fine mud particles suspended in water:

Loading:

• Loading: It is a process in which some chemical substances like Alum $\left(\mathrm{KAl}{\left({\mathrm{SO}}_4\right)}_2·12{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$ are added to the liquid to get a sedimented solid from the suspended particles.
• If the suspended particles are lighter and do not settle at the bottom on their own, the loading process is used to make these particles heavier and settle at the bottom.
• Then water can be separated by the process of filtration from sedimented mud particles.

Conclusion:
Therefore, The loading method is used for the separation of mud particles suspended in water.
