<P> Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension . The layer closer to the top of the container -- the less dense of the two liquids , or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out -- is poured off , leaving the other component or the more dense liquid of the mixture behind . An incomplete separation is witnessed during the separation of two immiscible liquids . </P>
