    There are four main methods for separating solid substances: 1) Hand picking involves separating undesirable solids from useful ones by manually sorting by shape, size, or color. 2) Sieving uses screens with different sized holes to separate components by size. 3) Threshing beats stalks with sticks or tramples them to separate grains from stalks, especially in agriculture. Larger operations use threshing machines or combine harvesters. 4) Winnowing uses wind or air currents to separate lighter and heavier components of a mixture, such as separating grains from husks.

    Separation of solid substances

    separation of solid substance has four methods.

    Hand picking
    In this method, the undesirable solid substance is separated from the useful substance by hand.
    It is used to separate components of mixtures when the undesirable solid differs from the useful
    components in shape, size or colour…

    Sieving
    This method is used to separate the components of a mixture which differ in size. A sieve which

    appropriate hole size is used in this method. The size of the holes in the sieve depends on the size
    of the components to be separated. For example, sieve with bigger pores are used at construction
    sites to separate stone and peddles from sand…
    Threshing
    It is the process of separating grains from their stalks by beating the stalks with sticks or

    by allowing bullocks to trample the stalks, or by using machines. This method is particularly
    used in the agriculture fields. In big fields, threshing is done by using threshers or combine
    harvesters. Using threshers or combine harvesters is an economical and a more efficient way…

    Winnowing
    It is a method of separating lighter components in a mixture from the heavier ones with the help

    the help of the force of wind or air. The threshed grains still contain lighter fibrous mass called
    husk, with which the grains was covered inside the stalk. Grains and husk are separated by winnowing…

    This four ways are used to separate


    solid substance from solid
