Separation of mixtures

How to separate mixtures:

1. Hand Separation

Example: Separating salt and sand

2. Filtration

Example: Sand and Water

3. Distillation

Example: Alcohol and Water

4. Chromatography, for separating different substances to determine whether they are banned substances

5. Etc. There are a whole lot of other techniques but they are too complicated and not required at this level.
