Expect simple filtration by gravity to use less energy than distillation (where you have to take the material to its gaseous state) so it will be cheaper, but if you're considering reverse osmosis (a hi-tech form of filtering) against solar-powered distillation (in a solar still), the running costs of R-O are large, the running costs of a solar still are small.

How is petroleum separated?
Petroleum is separated by distillation.
Why distillation produces pure water but filtration does not?
no one knows
What method does filtration and distillation take advantage of?
This depends on the considered application.
What is filtration evaporation and distillation how can they be used to separate a mixture?
Well distillation is when you boil something so that solid object can dissolve more easily when filtration is when you want to have clear water etc and when you get all of the bits out of it
What is frequently used to separate particles from a mechanical mixture?
Filtration, distillation, and evaporation are all techniques that can separate the components of a mixture.

What are the different kinds of separation?
Distillation Filtration Evaporation
What is the best method for separating?
Examples: filtration, centrifugation, crystallization and recrystallization, distillation, sedimentation, freze drying, ion exchange, etc. Filtration and distillation are most common.
