Distillation is a method used to separate components of a liquid mixture through selective boiling and condensation. The process involves heating the liquid in a distillation flask until it boils, then collecting the distillate as it condenses.
a technique for the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates
Fractional distillation
separation of a liquid mixture into fractions differing in boiling point (and hence chemical composition) by means of distillation, typically using a fractionating column
Crystallisation
The formation of crystals or the assumption of a crystalline form.
Decantation
Definition
is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension.
