- 1Process in which solids settle to the bottom of the containerSedimentation
- 2Separating solid particles according to their particle size by passing them through a perforated barrierSeiving
- 3Process of separating the liquid component of a solution by boiling the solution and condensing the resulting vapour back to a liquidDistillation
- 4Process of carefully pouring off the liquid and leaving the solid undisturbed at the bottom of the containerdecantation
- 5Process of separating undissolved solid from a liquid or gas by passing the mixture through a filterFiltration
- 6Process of passing a mixture through a magnetic field to separate the magnetic and non magnetic componentsMagnetic Separation
- 7Process of separating a dissolved solid from a solution by vaporising the liquidEvaporation
- 8Process of forming crystals from a solutionCrystallisation
- 9E.g. Separating sand and gravelSieving; difference in particle size
