Explanation given by Shreya is correct, But in addition to that the gravity settling chambers are also used to separate the heavy metals and particles from the effluent (waste water generated from the Industry). Which settles in the chambers by gravity only.

Gravity settling chambers will always be of importance for pre-cleaning of high dust laden gases. They work on the principle of removing dust by reducing the velocity of gas (or) air stream. The gas is directed from the dust generating equipment into the large volume settling chamber, where the velocity drops low enough to let large dust particles drop out by gravity. Dust settling chambers are sometimes equipped with deflectors, to charge the direction of gas flow and so to shorten the settling path of particles, improving collection efficiency. Because of the simple construction, gravity-settling chambers are the lowest in cost, but at the same time also the least effective dust collection devices.

Since particles are suspended at a height, a combination of gravity of earth and artificial gravity of the chamber helps to get the particles down on an surface which will then be cleaned and thus getting rid of the particulate matter.

Which is mean of gravity chambers and another what is suspended particulate matter.
