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
evaporation and filtering
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).
Some common ways of separating mixtures include filtration (based on particle size), distillation (based on differences in boiling points), chromatography (based on differences in solubility), and evaporation (based on differences in volatility).
by separating it
Using the separating funnel method can be separated mixtures of liquids with different densities.
oil and water
Other ways of separating mixtures include filtration, where a filter is used to separate solid particles from a liquid, and distillation, which involves heating a mixture to separate its components based on their boiling points. Another common method is using a magnet to extract magnetic materials from a mixture.
Filtration is the best method.
DISTILLATION
It is called distillation
Separating mixtures can help to reduce waste by allowing components to be reused or recycled. This reduces the amount of material that ends up in landfills or in the environment. Additionally, separating mixtures can help to prevent contamination of soil, water, and air by harmful substances.
Examples of methods for separating mixtures include filtration (separating solids from liquids), distillation (separating liquids based on boiling points), chromatography (separating components based on their affinity for a mobile and stationary phase), and magnetism (separating magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials).
