Mixtures can be separated by different methods like chromatography, distillation, evaporation, filtration, threshing, winnowing, handpicking, sieving, etc.
- In chromatography, the mixture is separated by passing it in a solution or suspension or as a vapor through a medium in which components move at different rates.
- In distillation, mixtures of pure liquids are separated by vaporizing, condensing, and isolating the mixtures. The most volatile component vaporizes at the lowest temperature.
