Filtration is technically defined as the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid, by causing the latter to pass through the pores of a membrane, called a filter.

Winnowing is a separation technique in which lighter particles from heavier components are separated out either by blowing air or by the wind.

Decantation is the process of separation of liquid from solid and other immiscible (non-mixing) liquids, by removing the liquid layer at the top from the layer of solid or liquid below.

Definition. Magnetic Separation is a method of Waste management where magnets are used to separate metal from Refuse.

Handpicking is a method of manually separating slightly larger particles from a mixture.

Chromatography is an important biophysical technique that enables the separation, identification, and purification of the components of a mixture for qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Centrifugation is a method of separating molecules having different densities by spinning them in solution around an axis (in a centrifuge rotor) at high speed.

Evaporation is a separation method used to separate a mixture of a liquid with a dissolved solid, involving the removal of a liquid by evaporating it and leaving behind a solid.

A method of separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities in a boiling liquid mixture. The components in a sample mixture are vaporised by the application of heat and then immediately cooled by the action of cold water in a condenser.

Fractional distillation is a type of distillation which involves the separation of miscible liquids. The process involves repeated distillations and condensations and the mixture is usually separated into component parts.
