sedimentaatiokokeita
Sedimentaatiokokeita, known in English as sedimentation tests, are laboratory procedures used to determine the settling characteristics of particulate matter suspended in a liquid. These tests are fundamental in various scientific and industrial fields, including water treatment, soil science, mining, and pharmaceuticals. The primary goal is to understand how quickly and to what extent particles will settle out of a suspension under the influence of gravity.
The basic principle behind sedimentation tests involves observing the rate at which the solid-liquid interface descends
Different types of sedimentation tests exist, tailored to specific applications. For instance, in water treatment, tests
