Mixtures

1. Mixtures Mixtures are two or more substances which are not combined chemically. Therefore each substance in a mixture retains the same properties as if it were alone. Separating Mixtures All mixtures may be separated by physical properties.

2. Distillation – Separates solutions based on the boiling point of the components. Condensate Distillate

3. Fractional Distillation – is a widely used distillation method in the petroleum industry. Different fuels have different volatility (boiling points) which allow them to be separated from crude petroleum. Gasoline Kerosene Heating Oil Aviation Fuel Asphalt

4. Distilled Humor • Goodnight IreneAuthor unknown, submitted by Ken Kiger • There once was a girl named Irene,who lived on distilled kerosene.But she started absorbin'A new hydrocarbon,And since then has never benzene!

5. Chromatography – The separation of a solution on the basis of solubility. The furthest point from the bottom of the paper is called the solvent front.

6. Chromatography – The origin is the point on the chromatography paper where the solute (what is being dissolved) and the solvent (what is doing the dissolving) initially meet). Origin

7. Sedimentation – Separates fluid mixtures on the basis of particle size

8. Sedimentation and coagulation processes as used in a wastewater treatment plant.
