Evaporation - The process of turning liquid into gas. Filter paper - The material with very fine holes that do not allow some solids to penetrate through them. Filtrate - The term given to the filtered liquid. Sieving - A process of separating particles of different sizes through the use of a sifter or sieve. Science Vocabulary Fractional Distillation - A process where the crude oil is evaporated, allowing its vapors to distill at different temperatures in a fractioning column. Crude oil - It contains numerous mixed types of hydrocarbons that have different boiling points. Winnowing - The process of separating the heavier components of the mixture from the lighter components with the help of the wind. Centrifuge - A machine that separates the components of a mixture. Threshing - A method where the crops are being trampled by the farmers with their own feet. Chromatography - A technique that separates components of mixtures based on the ability of each component to be drawn across the surface of another material. Science Vocabulary Filtration - Technique involving a porous barrier to separate solids from liquids and method used by water industries to separate tiny impurities. Distillation - Technique used in oil refineries to separate crude oil into its different components. Winnowing - Technique used to separate rice husks from rice grains. Centrifugation - Method the blood of a dialysis patient undergoes.  Separation Methods and Its Benefits Separation Method Benefits Papermaking Removes impurities from pulp, leading to higher-quality Filtration paper and reduced environmental impact. Helps clean water bodies, preventing harm to marine life and protecting ecosystems. Decantation Separates oil from water, preventing environmental Oil Spills damage. Clean drinking Removes contaminants, providing safe and healthy Distillation drinking water to communities. water Filtration Produces pure, safe drinking water by removing impurities. Separates fine particles from large rocks or materials, Sieving/Straining making extraction easier. Quarrying Physical Manipulation Helps in extracting valuable minerals or stones efficiently. Distilled water is safer to drink than a glass of tap water Distilled water is considered safer because it has been purified through distillation, removing contaminants and minerals. Tap water, while generally safe in many regions, can contain chemicals like chlorine or other impurities depending on the source. However, distilled water lacks essential minerals, so the best choice may vary based on individual health needs and the local water supply. Aquatic animals benefit from mechanical separation Aquatic animals benefit from mechanical separation techniques because it helps remove pollutants like oil or plastic debris from their habitats. This reduces the risk of ingestion or harm caused by toxic substances and helps maintain a clean environment for their survival. It also prevents the disruption of their food sources and ecosystems. Humans use the filtration method in many ways, such as in water purification. Filtration helps plants and animals by removing harmful particles and pollutants from water, making it safer to consume. In natural ecosystems, filtration happens through soil and vegetation, which purifies rainwater before it reaches streams and rivers. This process supports the health of aquatic ecosystems and ensures clean water for plant and animal life. Evaporation in the water cycle Evaporation is a key process in the water cycle, where heat from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, and rivers to turn into water vapor. This vapor rises into the atmosphere and later condenses into clouds. Without evaporation, water wouldn't cycle back into the atmosphere, affecting the overall availability of fresh water.
