Sedimentation and Chemical Clarification

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about sedimentation which is the process by which suspended particles are removed from the water by means of gravity or separation. and chemical clarification are physical water treatment processes using gravity or buoyancy to remove suspended solids from water. Solid particles entrained by the turbulence of moving water may be removed naturally by sedimentation in the still water of lakes and oceans.
