    Separating

    Mixtures
    Processes to Separate Mixtures
    When some materials are mixed together,
    it is possible to separate the mixture and
    get the original materials back again.

    There are several different ways of


    separating mixtures.
    The best process to use depends on the
    type of mixture you are separating.

    Mechanical Separation Evaporation and Condensation Magnetism

    Filtering Sieving Decanting Simple Distillation

    Fractional Distillation Crystallization Chromatography


    Mechanical Separation
    Mechanical Separation: (often by hand) takes advantage
    of physical properties such as color and shape.

    Example: Recycling Plastic, Paper, Metal

    Processes
    Evaporation and Condensation
    1 2
    This process is best used to As the solid has dissolved in
    separate solutions - mixtures the liquid, filtering would not
    in which a solid has dissolved separate the two materials.
    in a liquid. The solid particles would go
    through the filter paper along
    with the liquid.

    4
    If the gas is then condensed 3
    on a cool surface, the liquid When the solution is
    can be recovered and collected evaporated, either through
    too. Examples of mixtures to boiling or by being left in a
    separate with this process warm place, the liquid will
    include salt and water or turn into gas and leave the
    sugar and water solid behind.

    Processes
    Magnetism (Magnetisation)
    Use this process to separate magnetic materials
    from non-magnetic materials.

    A magnet is used to attract any magnetic


    materials and remove them from the
    mixture.

    You could separate a mixture of copper


    nails and iron nails using this process.

    Processes
    Filtering (Filtration)
    This process should be used to separate a
    mixture of an insoluble solid and a liquid.
    A funnel is lined with filter paper and placed over a beaker.
    The mixture is poured slowly into the filter paper.

    Insoluble solids will not have dissolved in the


    liquid. The solid particles will not be able to get
    through the tiny holes in the filter paper, and
    will be caught in it.

    The liquid particles will go through the filter


    paper into the beaker below.

    This process could be used to separate a


    mixture of sand and water

    Processes
    Sieving
    Use this process to separate a mixture of different sized solids.

    The mixture is poured into a sieve held


    over a bowl.

    The smaller particles will get through it


    into the bowl and the larger particles
    will be caught in the sieve.

    Mixtures you could


    separate using this
    process include
    raisins and flour,
    or rice and pasta.

    Processes
    Decanting (Decantation)
    This process can be used to separate two
    liquids that have different densities.

    The mixture of liquids is left to settle, so the two liquids are visible as two
    different layers.

    The less dense liquid will be the


    top layer, and this can be
    decanted, or slowly poured off.

    This process could be used


    to separate a mixture of
    oil and water.

    Processes
    Simple Distillation
    Distillation is the
    separation of a
    mixture of liquids
    based on the physical
    property of boiling
    point.

    Simple distillation is
    used for separating a
    liquid from a solution.

    Example: the
    distillation of alcohol
    or oil

    Processes
    Fractional Distillation
    Fractional distillation is used for separating out a mixture of
    liquids. Fractional distillation can be used to separate out crude
    oil into fractions.

    Processes
    Crystallization
    Chromatography is used to Crystallisation - to
    separate a soluble salt from a solution; a slower
    method of separating out salt.

    Processes
    Chromatography
    Chromatography is used to separate out liquid mixtures.
