Importance Of Separation In Life

THE IMPORTANCE OF SEPARATION TECHNIQUES IN OUR DAILY LIFE
- NAMAN WADHWA 9E
Our life is full of separated products; from the butter on your toast and the juice glass next to it, to the petrol in your car, countless commonly used products are separated. You might not know that the alcohol in your Dad’s mojito is separated from a parent material. The cream on your coffee is also made using separating techniques, the oxygen supplied at the difficult moments of someone’s life, that might even bring him back to normal is also, a separated product. Methods of separation are used around the world, Israel, Singapore, Hong Kong; Parts of the United States, United Kingdom and Belgium recycle water, also, which is done by purifying water by separation…show more content…
Dissolution: This method is used to separate a mixture of soluble and insoluble liquids, a suitable solvent is used for dissolving one of the solids in the mixture and insoluble solids can then be removed by filtration.
3. Crystallization: This method is used for separating the soluble solids from their solution by cooling them.
4. Simple Distillation: Liquids that quickly evaporate/are volatile should are separated from liquids that are not volatile. The non-volatile has a higher Boiling Point, so, we boil the two liquids, the volatile liquid will evaporate and the non-volatile liquid will remain as a residue in the distillation flask.
5. Fractional Distillation: When two or more solids are miscible(can mix with each other) liquids with different boiling points, they are both distilled, first, we distill the liquid with the lowest boiling point, last, we distill the liquid with the highest boiling point. Using this method, we can separate a mixture into several components, fractions.
6. Sublimation: When one of the substances in a mixture sublimes, this is the method by which we separate petrol, diesel, kerosene and wax from their parent material/ mixture that is…show more content…
