separation methods for mixtures

1. SEPARATION METHODS
FOR MIXTURES

2. SEPARATION METHODS FOR
MIXTURES
• The key is to find a property that one part
of the mixture does have but the other
doesn't. This relies on their physical
properties.
• FILTERING
Pour a mixture (solid and
liquid), through a filter paper.
Depends on the solubility.

3. SEPARATION METHODS FOR
MIXTURES
• CRYSTALLIZATION
Slow formation of a solid from a warm
solution that is cooled. Depends on the
solubility.

4. DISTILLATION
• Boil off and condense the more volatile
component in a liquid mixture. Depends
on volatility.

5. SEPARATION METHODS FOR
MIXTURES
• DECANTING
Used to separate a liquid from an insoluble
solid. The solid stays in the bottom.

6. CHROMATOGRAPHY
Involves the separation of different dissolved
substances as they travel through a
material

7. SEPARATION METHODS FOR
MIXTURES
• CENTRIFUGATION
Involves the use of the
centrifugal force. More
dense components
migrate away. Solid
particles remain on the
bottom.

8. SEPARATION METHODS FOR
MIXTURES
• EVAPORATION
Separation of a liquid
and a soluble solid.

9. MAGNETISM
A magnetically susceptible material is
extracted from a mixture using a magnetic
force.

10. MAGNETISM
A magnetically susceptible material is
extracted from a mixture using a magnetic
force.
