TYPES OF SEPARATION TECHNI

Magnetic separation

A method used to separate a mixture using a magnet to attract magnetic materials.

Decanting

A method for separating a liquid from a solid that has settled at the bottom.

Filtration separation

A technique that uses a filter to trap insoluble solids while allowing liquids to pass through.

Evaporation

A method to recover a solid from a solution by heating the liquid until it turns to vapor.

Distillation

A separation technique that involves boiling a liquid and then cooling the vapor back into liquid.

Density separation

A method that separates components based on their different densities.

Centrifuge

A machine that spins a mixture at high speeds to separate its components.

Paper chromatography

A technique that separates colored substances based on how far they travel on paper with a solvent.

Fractional crystallization

A method that separates dissolved solids by forming crystals at different solubilities.

Mechanical separation

A general method that involves physically sorting or using tools to separate components of a mixture.
