<P> Decantation is also present in nanotechnology . In the synthesis of high quality silver nanowire (AgNW) solutions and fabrication process of high performance electrodes, decantation is also being applied which greatly simplifies the purification process . </P> <P> After using a desiccant to absorb water from an organic liquid, the organic liquid can often be decanted away from the desiccant . </P> <P> The process of deriving vinegar also requires decantation to remove fats from the raw substance . </P> <P> Plasma can be separated from blood through decantation by using a centrifuge . </P>

Examples of solid materials which can be separated from water through decantation
