5 ways to separate mixtures are distillation, filtration, condensation/distillation, Evaporation, chromatography, centrifuging and magnetism.

  • Chromatography - To separate different coloured dyes. The dyes travel up the chromatography paper at different distances before they cannot remain in solution. The more soluble dyes move further up than the less soluble ones, hence separating from each other.

  • Distillation - to separate and collect a liquid from a solution of a soluble solid. The solution is heated in a flask until the liquid boils. The vapour produced passes into the condenser where it is cooled and condenses to a liquid. The pure liquid (distillate) is collected in a beaker.

  • Evaporation - This method is suitable to separate a soluble solid from a liquid. If the solution is heated, the liquid evaporates leaving the solid behind.

  • Fractional Distillation - This is a special type of distillation used to separate a mixture of liquids. Different liquids boil at different temperatures. When heated, they boil off and condense at different times. The apparatus features a fractionating column, which ensures that only the liquid boils at its boiling point will pass into the condenser.

  • Filtration - To separate an insoluble solid from a liquid. The solid remains in the filter paper and the liquid goes through the paper into the beaker.

Some of the example mixtures that can be separated using the above mentioned techniques:

(1) separating dyes in inks, or chlorophyll in plants (ethanol as solvent) - chromatography;

(2) separating sand from water - filtration;

(3) separating ethanol and water - fractional distillation;

(4) separating water from ink - simple distillation;

(5) separating salt from water - evaporation

What is the scientific way of separating mixtures?

There are several different ways and procedures of separating mixtures, though, some mixtures areirreversible, and can permanently be combined. A few ways of separating mixtures is through evaporation, filtration, sieving, gravity separation, distillation, condensation, froth flotation, magnetic separation, chromatography, and centrifuging (http://www.slideshare.net/brittgow/separating-mixtures-1247457). Also certain chemical reactions can separate mixtures, or create substances, i.e. acid+base=salt+water etc. (If this is no help I'm sorry just look up separating mixtures on Google).
