SEPARATION METHODS 
FOR MIXTURES
SEPARATION METHODS FOR 
MIXTURES 
• The key is to find a property that one part 
of the mixture does have but the other 
doesn't. This relies on their physical 
properties. 
• FILTERING 
Pour a mixture (solid and 
liquid), through a filter paper. 
Depends on the solubility.
SEPARATION METHODS FOR 
MIXTURES 
• CRYSTALLIZATION 
Slow formation of a solid from a warm 
solution that is cooled. Depends on the 
solubility.
DISTILLATION 
• Boil off and condense the more volatile 
component in a liquid mixture. Depends 
on volatility.
SEPARATION METHODS FOR 
MIXTURES 
• DECANTING 
Used to separate a liquid from an insoluble 
solid. The solid stays in the bottom.
CHROMATOGRAPHY 
Involves the separation of different dissolved 
substances as they travel through a 
material
SEPARATION METHODS FOR 
MIXTURES 
• CENTRIFUGATION 
Involves the use of the 
centrifugal force. More 
dense components 
migrate away. Solid 
particles remain on the 
bottom.
SEPARATION METHODS FOR 
MIXTURES 
• EVAPORATION 
Separation of a liquid 
and a soluble solid.
MAGNETISM 
A magnetically susceptible material is 
extracted from a mixture using a magnetic 
force.
MAGNETISM
