A dissolved solid is no longer a solid, but becomes part of the liquid. Filtration can separate suspended solids, which are still solid.
If you have a solid precipitate /liquid mixture filtration is the better method of recovering the solid as any contaminant in the liquid can potentially be washed out. Evaporating the liquid to remove it would just deposit whatever residues there were onto the precipitate.
The larger and heavier solid particles settle down leaving the clear liquid above it. ... At the same time, during decantation, there is a chance of the particles mixing back in the liquid. The filtration technique can be used to overcome this as well. Thus, filtration is better than sedimentation and decantation.
Probably "filtration" is the answer sought, although this is certainly not the only possibility.
Solid Ag with solid Au. it's done in process of producing 14 karat gold.

separating an insoluble solid from a liquid: decantation, filtration separating a dissolved solid (solute) from a solution: evaporation, crystallization separating the solute and solvent from a solution: simple distillation separating a mixture of two miscible liquids: fractional distillation
An insoluble solid can be separated by filtration from the liquid.
Examples: filtration, decantation, centrifugation.
Filtration refers to the mechanical or physical process of separating a solid from a liquid. Since metals have no liquid composition, they cannot be separated by filtration.
Filtration because it says that it can separate fine solid from liquids.
1 A magnet can be used to separate IRON from SAND. 3. Filtering (filtration) can be used to separate a solid (or suspension) from a liquid. 4. Evaporation can be used to separate a dissolved SOLUTE from a SOLUTION
Filtration is a good method for this (you can decant also, but this is crude)
The process that separates insoluble substances from a liquid is filtration. For more information: http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/matter/separation.shtml
evaporation is a kind of separation method it is used for separating a dissolved solid (solute) from a liquid
Methods of separating a solid and liquid rather than filtration. (a)When a solid and liquid are soluble,a method know as evaporation is used.When this mixture is heated,the liquid will evaporate and the solid will be left and obtained after evaporation. (b)When the mixture is insoluble,it is separated by use of decantation.The mixture is given some time to settle and the liquid is poured into another beaker and the the solid is left in the initial beaker.
