[edit] disappointed!
202.81.183.31 15:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)I am very disappointed in this page cause if the separation processes have two classification the examples must have been clasiffied. now, how will i know if that separation process is under chemical or mechanical....too bad you dont know that. And now I sound dumb because I did not edit it to help out the website. Oh, and thanks for all you help.

[edit] Definition
This article presents a fine collection of separating processes. However, I was not very happy with its definition, hence the change: A separation process does not necessarily separate substances of different chemical composition. Sieving, sedimentation, centrifugation and elutriation are examples, when the aim is size separation.
Though I leave this to discussion I am not even certain, that one should include chemistry. Filtration or distillation in chemistry are not really processes, but rather laboratory techniques. I hasten to add, that being a laboratory technique does not decrease any of their importance. LouisBB (talk) 20:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
