    Separation of Mixtures or method of separation is the process of separating or extracting
    different components of a mixture using some physical methods. The type of mixture and
    variations in the chemical characteristics of the mixture’s components determine the
    separation method to be used. Separation of mixtures is often needed to get rid of
    unwanted or harmful components and to separate the useful components from the non-
    useful ones. Some of the methods of the mixtures explained in detail in this article are
    Filtration, Hand-picking, Threshing, Winnowing, Sieving, Sedimentation and
    decantation, Magnetic separation, Centrifugation, Evaporation, Distillation, and many
    more.

    Method of Separation of Mixtures


    Different methods of separation are used depending on the type of mixture. Some
    commonly used methods for separation include:
     Sublimation
     Evaporation
     Handpicking
     Threshing
     Winnowing
     Sieving
     Distillation
     Filtration or Sedimentation
     Separating Funnel
     Magnetic Separation
