Methods of Separation

Mechanical Separation Techniques are the ones that separate____ mixtures

• Heterogeneous

• Homogeneous

Allows mixtures of solids of different sizes to be separated. The mixture is passed through a sieve, a tool with a mesh of a given size.

• Distillation

• Decantation

• Sieving

• Flotation

This an example of...

• Filtration

• Sedimentation and Decantation

• Centrifugation

  and Decantation

• None of the above

Decantation is only applied to mixtures of nonmiscible liquids that forma an emulsion.

• True

• False

The blood components are usually separated by this method:

• Decantation

• Centrifugation and Decantation

• Flotation

• Leaching

This technique is based on the difference of densities, allows the suspensions components to be separated. The mixture separate into two clearly and differentiated layers.

• Leaching

• Sieving

• Magnetic separation

• Sedimentation and Decantation

This technique allows mixture of similarly sizes solids to be separated by solids. The density of one of the two components must be lower than the density of water, while the remaining components must be sink in water.

• Centrifugation

• Sedimentation

• Flotation

• Leaching

Leaching: Allows the separation of solid components of similarly sized particles. One of the components must be soluble in liquid.

• True

• False
