Centrifugation is the process where a mixture is separated through spinning.

Like separate skim milk from

whole milk. Centrifugation uses a centrifuge, or a device that can rapidly spin, As it spins, the larger particles
would get flung out further, and smaller particles would stay close to the center

Decanting is just allowing a mixture of solid and liquid or two immiscible liquids to settle and
separate by gravity. like oil and water. You pour the mixture into a separatory funnel.
