Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained, and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration or electromagnetism. In geology sedimentation is o...

[water treatment] Sedimentation is a physical water treatment process using gravity 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. Settling basins are ponds constructed for the purpose of removing entrained s...

Designation (also settling, settling) for the deposition of particles from liquids or gases under the influence of gravity or centrifugal force. In winemaking, this is understood to mean the automatic degumming. Sediment is sometimes also used as a term for the deposit (sediment) in a wine bottle. See also under Schönen.
