Presentation Transcript

  1. Separation Methods

  2. Separating Mixtures • Substances in a mixture are physically combined, so processes bases on differences in physical properties are used to separate component • Numerous techniques have been developed to separate mixtures to study components

  3. Filtration • Distillation • Chromatography • Centrifuging • Evaporating • Crystallization • Dissolving • Decantation • Sieving • Flotation • Physical Means

  4. Filtration • Used to separate heterogeneous mixtures composed of solids and liquids • Uses a porous barrier to separate the solid from the liquid • Liquid passes through leaving the solid in the filter paper

  5. Distillation • Used to separate homogeneous mixtures • Based on differences in boiling points of substances involved

  6. Evaporation can be used to separate a solute from the solvent in a solution

  7. A magnet • Can be used to separate a magnetic substance from a non-magnetic substance

  8. Chromatography • Separates components of a mixture based on ability of each component to be drawn across the surface of another material • Mixture is usually liquid and is usually drawn across chromatography paper • Separation occurs because various components travel at different rates • Components with strongest attraction for paper travel the slowest
