Q

how does sieving work?

A

in a mixture of bigger and smaller particles, we can use a sieve of the right pore size to separate the components. The pore size tells us how big the holes in the filter are. Bigger pores let bigger particles through.

  • a sieve can be used to separate solids with different particle sizes
