What is separation? Separation is essentially a process in which a mixture is converted into two or more distinct products.
There are several basic techniques for separation:
-Filtration: pass mixtures through porous filters
-Distillation: heating a mixture can cause low boiling components to volatize
-Chromatography: components flow over the material at different speeds.
-Crystalization + Extraction: solids are separated by filtration or floatation
-Hand Separation: separated by using magnets + sieve
-Evaporation: boil away the liquid, solid remains
Chromatography-^Components flow over the material at different speeds^
There are different components within the mixtures, along with different properties
-High density/Low density -Reactive/Inert
-Volatile/Non-volatile -Magnetic/Non-Magnetic
-Soluble/Insoluble -Polar/Non-polar
