Separation Techniques

Distillation Separates homogeneous liquid-liquid mixtures using differences in boiling points

Filtration Separates heterogeneous solid-liquid mixtures by based on the sixe difference of particles in the mixture

Chromatography Techniques used for separating dissolved substances by taking advantage of their tendency to travel through another medium at different rates (speeds); typically colored substances like pigments or dyes Add evaporation??

Different color components of the mixture Paper Medium = paper Paper Mixture Different color components of the mixture Solvent

Column

Crystallization Separates homogeneous solid-liquid mixtures based on solubility Results in a pure solid substance Add evaporation??

Evaporation Allowing a solution (solid dissolved in a liquid) to “dry” Typically the liquid evaporates into the air

Decant To pour a liquid, from one container to another, gently to not disturb the sediment
