PHYSICAL PROCES

§A sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states

§DESTILATION:Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points, into the gas phase.

§

§EVAPORATION Evaporation is the process by which water is converted from its liquid form to its vapor form and thus transferred from land and water masses to the atmosphere. Evaporation from the oceans accounts for 80% of the water delivered as precipitation, with the balance occurring on land, inland waters and plant surfaces.

§FILTRATION:The act or process of filtering, especially the process of passing a liquid or gas, such as air, through a filter in order to remove solid particles.

§

§DECANTATION:Decantation is a very quick method for separating a mixture of a liquid and a heavier solid.
