Study Notes
Methods of Separation in Everyday Life
- Methods for separating components in mixtures are crucial in everyday life
- Handpicking: Separating items based on size, color, or shape. Useful for removing small stones, husk from grains.
- Winnowing: Separating heavier grains from lighter husk by blowing air.
- Threshing: Beating stalks to detach grains.
- Sieving: Separating components based on size differences. Uses a sieve to separate different-sized particles.
- Evaporation: A method for separating a dissolved solid from a liquid. Heating the mixture causes the liquid to evaporate leaving the solid behind. Used to obtain salt from seawater.
- Decantation: Separating a solid from a liquid by pouring the liquid off.
- Filtration: Separating insoluble solids from liquids using a filter.
- Magnetic Separation: Separating magnetic materials using a magnet
- Churning: Separating butter from curd. A process of mixing/agitation
- Sedimentation: Separating mixtures where a heavier component settles at the bottom
