Difference between a residue and a sediment:
| Residue | Sediment |
|---|---|
| A residue refers to the solid material left behind after a physical or chemical process, such as filtration or evaporation. It remains on the filter paper or in the container after the liquid has been separated. | A sediment refers to solid particles that settle at the bottom of a liquid due to gravity. This can occur when a suspension is allowed to stand, and the heavier particles sink. |
