Open in App
Solution

Centrifugation:

  1. The procedure known as centrifugation uses centrifugal force to separate two liquids from a mixture.
  2. During this process, the mixture's denser component moves farther from the axis while its lighter component moves closer to the axis.
  3. The sedimentation principle governs how a centrifuge works: Liquids separate based on their density when the gravitational force is present (g-force).
  4. The centrifugation process can be used to separate butter from curd.
