Methods of Separation

Methods of separation are techniques used to split the components of a mixture into their individual pure substances. They rely on differences in physical properties such as particle size, density, boiling point, solubil…

• A **mixture** contains two or more substances physically combined and can be separated by physical methods.
• **Separation** is done to obtain pure substances, remove harmful components, or make materials useful.
• The choice of method depends on the **property difference** between components — size, state, boiling point, magnetism, or solubility.
