Question

what is the role of loading during sedimentation

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Sedimentation involves settling down of suspended heavy particles present in a mixture at the bottom of the container when left undisturbed for some time. The settling down of suspended particles can be made faster by the process of loading. Loading is the process in which alum particles are deposited on suspended particles in a mixture to make them heavy and settle down rapidly.

Regards!
