methods on how to separate mixtures, as brief and compact. So we will only be using
well as briefly explaining it' the most basic ones.
Examples of basic methods of separating
mixtures are…
Filtration, is a method of separating solids
from liquid.
This method of separating mixtures is for
when we need to clean out, filter out the filth
or unwanted components from the liquid by
passing it through a porous medium like a
filter paper, leaving only filtered liquids.
Similar to filtration, there are also other
methods like sieving that also separates liquid
from solid, but sieving is used more for larger
solids, while filtration is for finer and smaller
solids.
