    • Filtration: Separating an insoluble solid from a solid-liquid mixture. Example: separating insoluble lead carbonate from a mixture of lead carbonate and water.
    • Evaporation: Separating a soluble solid from a solid-liquid mixture by evaporating the liquid. Example: separating lead nitrate from a mixture of lead nitrate and water.
    • Separating Funnel: Separating two immiscible liquids with different densities. Example: separating carbon tetrachloride from a mixture of carbon tetrachloride and water.
    • Fractional Distillation: Separating two miscible liquids with different boiling points by gradually increasing the temperature to evaporate the liquid with the lower boiling point first. Example: separating benzene from a mixture of benzene and toluene.
    • Boiling: Separating a gas dissolved in a liquid by boiling the mixture. Example: separating dissolved gases from a liquid.
    • Diffusion: Separating two gases with different densities by allowing them to diffuse through a membrane. Example: separating gases with different diffusion rates.
    • Chromatography: Separating different constituents in a liquid by using a stationary phase and a mobile phase. Example: separating different dyes in ink.
    • Centrifugation: Separating an insoluble heavier solid present in an insoluble solid-liquid mixture. The heavier component migrates away from the axis of the centrifuge, while the lighter component migrates towards the axis.
