Separation Techniques

A Separation technique is a process to achieve any mass transfer occurrence that converts a mixture of substances into two or more individual product mixtures. Separations may differ in chemical properties or physical properties such as size, shape, mass, density, between the constituents of a mixture. They are often categorized according to the particular differences they use to achieve separation. Separation process consists of different techniques like distillation, extraction, zone refining etc. Adsorption is the union of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid to a surface. Distillation is a type of technique used for liquid mixtures with different boiling points. Chromatography separates dissolved particles by different interaction.
