Separation techniques

• Chromatography - a technique for the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates
• Simple distillation -

  • Distillation is a separation technique used to separate a solvent from a mixture. (E.g. water can be separated from salt solution by distillation)
  • Distillation involves boiling the mixture and then condensing the gas to produce a liquid
• Fractional distillation - a process by which a mixture is separated into its components by heating it and collecting the vapours of different boiling points
• Magnetism - a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, which results in attractive and repulsive forces between objects
• Filtration - the action or process of filtering something
• Crystallization


  the process of forming crystals / removing salt from salt solution
