Separation

Separation is a process used to divide different components of a mixture into individual parts. It relies on differences in physical properties, such as size, density, or magnetic qualities. For example, separating sand from water by pouring or using a filter, or removing iron filings from soil with a magnet. Separation techniques help us isolate or purify substances for various purposes. It's a fundamental concept in chemistry, environmental science, and everyday tasks, making complex mixtures manageable and enabling us to obtain clean, usable materials efficiently.
