• Decantation is a process for the separation of

mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a

solid mixture such as a suspension.
•Chromatography is a laboratory technique for the
separation of a mixture. The mixture is dissolved in a
fluid called the mobile phase, which carries it
through a structure holding another material called
the stationary phase. The various constituents of the
mixture travel at different speeds, causing them to
separate
• Filtration is a process used to separate solids
from liquids or gases using a filter medium that
allows the fluid to pass, but not the solid. The
term "filtration" applies whether the filter is
mechanical, biological, or physical. The fluid that
passes through the filter is called the filtrate
• Wind winnowing is an agricultural method
developed by ancient cultures for separating
grain from chaff. It is also used to remove hay
and chaff or other pests from stored grain.
Threshing, the loosening of grain or seeds from
the husks and straw, is the step in the chaff-
removal process that comes before winnowing
• Magnets are used to make a tight seal on the doors
to refrigerators and freezers. They power speakers
in stereos, earphones, and televisions. Magnets are
used to store data in computers, and are important
in scanning machines called MRIs (magnetic
resonance imagers), which doctors use to look
inside people's bodies
• Physical manipulation. The use of deep massage,
spinal alignment, and joint manipulation to
stimulate tissues.
