SEPARATION TECHNIQUES DESCRIPTION
1. Decantation A. separating heavy and light components by wind or blowing
2. Evaporation B. Separating solid and liquid components by settling
3. Filtration C. using a device made of wire or plastic mesh as a way to
separate solids of varying sizes.
4. Sieving D. heating a solution until the liquids turn to gases leaving the
solids behind.
5. Using magnets E. allowing the solution to settle at the bottom and pouring off the
particle-free part of the liquid
F. separating undissolved solids from liquids by using a filter
G. pulling out any magnetic material from the mixture
