Threshing or thrashing is the process of loosening the edible part of grain (or other crop) from the straw

to which it is attached. It is the step

in grain preparation after reaping. Threshing does not remove the bran from the grain.

Winnowing is a process by which chaff is separated from grain. It

can also be used to remove pests from stored grain. Winnowing
usually follows threshing in grain preparation. In its simplest form, it
involves throwing the mixture into the air so that the wind blows
away the lighter chaff, while the heavier grains fall back down for
recovery. Techniques included using a winnowing fan (a shaped
basket shaken to raise the chaff) or using a tool (a winnowing fork
or shovel) on a pile of harvested grain
Chromatography – a physical method of separation
that distributes components to separate between two
phases, one stationary (stationary phase), the other
(the mobile phase) moving in a definite direction.
Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the
gas state, without passing through the liquid state.[1] The verb form of
sublimation is sublime, or less preferably, sublimate.[2] Sublimate also
refers to the product obtained by sublimation.[2][3] The point at which
sublimation occurs rapidly (for further details, see below) is called critical
sublimation point, or simply sublimation point. Notable examples include
sublimation of dry ice at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and
that of solid iodine with heating.
Distillation, also classical distillation, is the process of
separating the component substances of a liquid mixture of
two or more chemically discrete substances; the separation
process is realized by way of the selective boiling of the
mixture and the condensation of the vapors in a still.
Separatory funnel is a piece of laboratory glassware used in
liquid-liquid extractions to separate (partition) the components of a
mixture into two immiscible solvent phases of different densities. All of
these solvents form a clear delineation between the two liquids.[2] The
denser liquid, typically the aqueous phase unless the organic phase
is halogenated, sinks to the bottom of the funnel and can be drained
out through a valve away from the less dense liquid, which remains in
the separatory funnel.
Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting of the
separation of a substance from a matrix. The distribution of a solute
between two phases is an equilibrium condition described by partition
theory. This is based on exactly how the analyte moves from the initial
solvent into the extracting solvent. The term washing may also be
used to refer to an extraction in which impurities are extracted from
the solvent containing the desired compound.
