What is Loading Process?

Loading process (in chemistry) is the process used to speed up the sedimentation process with the help of chemical called ‘Alum’.

Sedimentation involves settling down of suspended heavy particles present in a mixture at the bottom of the container when left undisturbed for some time. The particles settled down are called sediment. After sedimentation, decantation is carried out by pouring off the liquid to separate the solid sediment.
