Answer 2

1. Separation of Components of Mixtures. Most materials found in nature are in the form of mixtures. In engineering, a separation process is used to transform a mixture into two or more distinct products. This is done by considering that different components of the mixture may have different properties such as: size.
2. chromatography: Involves solvent separation on a solid medium. distillation: Takes advantage of differences in boiling points. evaporation: Removes a liquid from a solution to leave a solid material. filtration: Separates solids of different sizes.
