What is Elutriation ?

Elutriation: It is a separation method, which depends on the settling velocity of the particles in the fluid.

In this process of separation, the material is placed in a rising fluid having a fixed upward velocity, particles whose normal falling velocity is less than the velocity of the fluid will be carried upward and out of the vessel. If fractions obtained from a series of fluid velocities are collected and weighed, a complete size analysis may be obtained.
