Separation Techniques

Process in which solids settle to the bottom of the container

Separating solid particles according to their particle size by passing them through a perforated barrier

Process of separating the liquid component of a solution by boiling the solution and condensing the resulting vapour back to a liquid

Process of carefully pouring off the liquid and leaving the solid undisturbed at the bottom of the container

Process of separating undissolved solid from a liquid or gas by passing the mixture through a filter

Process of passing a mixture through a magnetic field to separate the magnetic and non magnetic components

Process of separating a dissolved solid from a solution by vaporising the liquid

Process of forming crystals from a solution

E.g.
Separating sand and gravel

E.g.
Separating crude oil into various fragments

E.g.
Obtaining salt from sea water

E.g.
Removing solids from petrol
