Mixture Separation Methods
👨🔬physical methods👨🔬
Vaporization
This method is used to separate solutions of solids in a liquid solvent.After heating the mixture,the liquid is vaporized.The solid deposited at the bottom of the container is then recovered.
Distillation
This method allows solutions of liquids with different boiling points to be separated .The mixture is heated until the liquid with a lower boiling point evaporates .The gas is collected and cooled ,and it is condensed in another container.
Chromatography
this technique allows the components to be separated according to the speed at which they travel through an absorbent surface,such as a piece of paper
To separate the components of a homogeneus mixture,one of the following methods can be used.
👨🔧Mechanical methods👨🔧
Flotation
Centrifuging and decantation
Filtration
Leaching
This method allows the separation of mixture of solid components of similarly sized particles .One of the components must be soluble in liquid.
Decantation
Separating funnel allows the liquid components of heterogeneous mixtures with different densities to be separated
Sedimentation and decantation
This technique, based on the difference of densities ,allows the components of a suspension to be separated .It involves allowing the mixture to sand until the solid and liquid componets separate into two clearly differentiated layers.
Sieving
Sieving allows mixture of solids of different sieve to be separated .The mixture is passed through a side a tool with a mesh of a given size.
Magnetic separation
