Methods of Separating Mixtures

Describe various simple separation techniques such as distillation, and chromatography


(STEM_GC11MP-Ia-b-12)

Parent Signature ________


Specific Objectives
1. Classify materials as compounds or mixtures.
30
2. Design a technique to separate mixtures into their individual components.
3. Illustrate distillation and chromatography in separating mixtures.

Materials
 Pen
 Bond paper or intermediate paper

Lesson
Most materials found in nature are in the form of mixtures. In engineering,
a separation process is used to transform a mixture into two or more distinct
products. This is done by considering that different components of the mixture
may have different properties such as size, density, solubility, electrical charge
and boiling point.

 Filtration is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases)
by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass.

 Distillation for mixtures of liquids with different boiling points.

 Chromatography separates dissolved substances by different interaction


with (that is, travel through) a material.

 Centrifugation and cyclonic separation, separates based on density


differences.

 Drying removes liquid from a solid by vaporization.

 Magnet separation technique uses magnet to separate iron particles from a
mixture.
