methods of seperation (physical change)

Filtration

Used for separating insoluble solids from liquids in heterogeneous mixtures.

Distillation

Used for separating components of a homogeneous mixture based on different boiling points.

Evaporation

Used for separating a dissolved solid from a liquid by evaporating the liquid.

Chromatography

Used for separating mixtures of substances based on how they move through a medium.

Decanting

Used for carefully pouring off a liquid to separate it from a denser solid that has settled.

Centrifugation

Used for separating substances based on density by rapid spinning.

Magnetism in separation

Used for separating magnetic materials from non-magnetic ones.

Crystallization

Used for forming solid crystals from a solution as the solvent evaporates.
