Difference between Decantation and condensation

Difference between Decantation and condensation

Decantation

Condensation

Decantation is The process of separation of two Insoluble liquids by pouring one of it.

Condensation is the process in which vapours are converted into tiny water drops.
In these process two Liquids are Insoluble which does not get mixed and form two layers, one above another. Thus one layer is removed in Decantation.

Condensation is the process of formation of tiny droplets from vapours, these Occurs when vapour temperature decreases.

Decantation  involves two phases – it May be solid – liquid phase and another may be liquid – liquid phase.

Condensation takes place at very lower temperature. It does not contain any phase. It is conversion of gaseous to Liquid.
In the decantation Heavier liquid is Below the Lighter  liquid.

Condensation takes place in vapours. The pressure of air and low temperature forms the denser liquid from it.

The barrier or any filter is not required for the Decantation.

No energy is released or gain during these process.

During the condensation, Energy is released.
Example for the decantation is – water and oil – oil float over the water which is poured down and separate   Oil from the water.

Example of condensation is –

Formation of water droplets from the clouds made up of  water vapour.
