Filtration is the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid, by causing the latter to pass through the

pores of some substance, called a filter. Mechanical Separation Using mechanical means to separate waste into various components. Centrifugation is a process used to separate or concentrate materials suspended in a liquid medium. Distillation is a commonly used method for purifying liquids and separating mixtures of liquids into their individual components Crystallization is a technique which chemists use to purify solid compounds. Chromatography is a separations method that relies on differences in partitioning behavior between a flowing mobile phase and a stationary phase to separate the the components in a mixture. BOILING a phase transition from the liquid state to the gas state, usually occurring when a liquid is heated to its boiling point. FREEZING the process through which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid. All liquidsexcept helium undergo freezing when the temperature becomes sufficiently cold. Decanting is just allowing a mixture of solid and liquid or two immiscible liquids to settle and separate by gravity. Sublimation is the transition from the solid phase to thegas phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Evaporation is the process by which water is converted from its liquid form to its vapor form and thus transferred from land and water masses to the atmosphere. Magnetic separation is one of the ways of separating heterogeneous solid mixtures. This is done by the use of a bar magnet Scooping in chemistry is just scooping. This is picking up or to scoop chemicals that in solid form. This is commonly done using an apparatus called the spatula. Sedimentation, or clarification, is the process of letting suspended material settle by gravity
