Particles can be separated from mixtures using various methods depending on their physical properties. Techniques include filtration, which uses a barrier to separate solids from liquids; centrifugation, which separates particles based on density using rapid spinning; and distillation, which separates components based on differences in boiling points. Other methods like magnetic separation can be used for magnetic materials, while sedimentation relies on gravity to separate heavier particles from liquids.
A centrifuge is a machine commonly used to separate particles of different weights based on centrifugal force. The heavier particles sediment to the bottom while the lighter particles are pushed to the top, allowing for separation.
Given the enormous number of different kinds of particles, and the various types of attachments that those particles can have to other particles, your question is very broad. But broadly speaking, particles separate because of some kind of force that is acting upon them.
Filtration would separate the water, leaving the chalk particles behind.

A sieve or strainer is frequently used to separate particles from a mechanical mixture based on differences in particle size. This allows smaller particles to pass through while larger particles are retained, creating a separation based on particle size.

When particles separate and spread evenly throughout a mixture, it is called diffusion.

You can separate magnetic and nonmagnetic particles using a magnet. The magnetic particles will be attracted to the magnet and can be easily separated from the nonmagnetic particles. This method is commonly used in industries such as mining and recycling.

Usually particles in a liquid or gas seperate, but particles within a gas divide more quickly than a liquid.
Yes, you can separate soil particles from water by letting the mixture sit undisturbed for a period of time. The soil particles will settle at the bottom of the jar due to their higher density, allowing you to pour off the water carefully to separate them. This process is known as sedimentation.
