If a force greater than that of gravity is used to separate solids & fluids of different densities, the process is termed as the __________________?
Correct answer: D. Centrifugation
- A. Sedimentation
- B. Flocculation
- C. Dispersion
- D. Centrifugation
Explanation
When separation is produced by a force greater than gravitational force, such as centrifugal force, the operation is called centrifugation. Sedimentation relies primarily on gravity.
