Separation of Mixtures
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: Separation of mixtures is the study of the separation of substances based on different physical or chemical properties. This field covers separation principles and practical applications of methods such as filtration, distillation, chromatography, crystallization, extraction, and centrifugation. The TYT focuses on basic separation techniques, while the AYT focuses on advanced separation methods and industrial processes. The current 2025 curriculum also covers recycling technologies and environmental cleanup. Learning this topic provides fundamental skills for laboratory and industrial purity.
