What role does sieving play in separating mixtures?

  • 1

Sieving separates components based on size by passing the mixture through a mesh or screen. Smaller particles pass through the openings, while larger particles are retained, making it ideal for granular materials.

  1. Sieving is a method used to separate mixtures based on particle size. A mixture is passed through a sieve or mesh with openings of a specific size. Particles smaller than the sieve openings pass through, while larger particles are retained on top. This technique is commonly used in cooking to remove lumps from flour, in construction to separate sand from gravel, and in laboratories for particle size analysis.
