Separation Techniques (:

So there are basically FOUR separation techniques. The 4 are Crystallization, Chromatography, Filtration and Distillation (: Posting the notes I took in class x)


      Crystallization 

• Making a substance PURE
• Solution should be Saturated [Definition of "Saturated Solution": Solution in which no more solute will dissolve. ]
• Change of a state of substance from LIQUID to SOLID

      Chromatography

• To separate a mixture
• To find out the number of components
• Depends on the solubility of compounds/substances in a solvent

     Filtration

• Differentiate between differently-sized substances 
• The process of separating suspended particles from the fluid through a porous material in which the fluid can pass while the suspended particles are retained 
• Depends on the size of the substances. 

    Distillation

• The separation of a liquid mixture into its components on the basis of differences in boiling points. 
• Depends on the boiling point of substances.
