I looked around just put these into your own words :)
Explanation:
One common method of separation is filtration. Filters are used everywhere. We use them in our houses to filter dust and mites out of the air we breathe. We use them to filter impurities from our water.
It is important to be able to separate mixtures to obtain a desired component from the mixture and to be able to better understand how each component works.
In chemistry and chemical engineering, a separation process is commonly used to transform a mixture of substances into two or more distinct materials. The separated products might differ in chemical properties or some physical property, such as size or crystal modification or other separation into different components.
Hopefully this helps you out.
