Filtration • Chromatography • Centrifuging • Evaporating • Dissolving
Filtration - The process whereby fluids pass through a filter or a filtering medium. A process like sieving, where large particles are caught on filter paper, whilst solutions pass through
Centrifuges rotate containers of • liquids to separate suspended • materials with different densities. • Centrifuges separate different components of human blood or milk and to clarify solutions. A high speed separator can rotate at great speed to separate fat (cream) from milk. • The spin drier in washing machines is a type of centrifuge that throws out the liquid by the "centrifugal force" of the rotation.
Evaporationchanges state from a liquid to a gas. Evaporation occurs only from the surface of the liquid.
Distillation is a method used to separate a liquid from a solution through boiling and condensation Rose oil distillation
Chromatography ( colour writing) is used to separate small amounts of chemicals so that they can be analysed. • Different substances or different components move at different speeds through a strip of wet paper a gel or a gas.
