particle separation

Particle separation is the process of dividing a mixture of different particles into its individual components based on their physical properties. Techniques include filtration, where a filter traps larger particles; centrifugation, which uses spinning to separate based on density; and magnetic separation, where magnetic particles are pulled out using a magnet. These methods allow for the efficient isolation or purification of specific substances from a mixture, essential in fields like manufacturing, environmental science, and research. The choice of method depends on the particle sizes, densities, and whether they are magnetic or not.
