Filtration: Used to separate solids from liquids. A filter paper is used to trap solid particles while allowing the liquid to pass through.
Distillation: Utilizes differences in boiling points to separate liquids. The mixture is heated, and the component with the lower boiling point vaporizes first, then condenses back into liquid form.
Evaporation: Involves heating a liquid to remove it, leaving behind solid components. This is often used for separating salt from saltwater.
Chromatography: Separates components based on their movement through a stationary medium. It's commonly used in laboratories to separate dyes or inks
Filtration: Used to separate solid particles from liquids or gases using a filter medium that allows the fluid to pass but retains the solid.
Distillation: This method separates liquids based on differences in boiling points. The mixture is heated, and the component with the lower boiling point vaporizes and is then condensed back into liquid form.
Evaporation: Involves heating a liquid to convert it into vapor, leaving behind solid components. Useful for separating dissolved solids from a liquid.
Chromatography: A technique that separates components based on their movement through a medium. Commonly used in laboratories to analyze mixtures.
Centrifugation: Uses centrifugal force to separate components based on density. Heavier particles move to the bottom, while lighter ones remain at the top.
Magnetic Separation: Utilizes magnets to separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic ones.
