Meghna Thapar 5 years, 6 months ago

Sieving is used to separate those mixtures which have components of different sizes. In this process, the mixture having components of different sizes are put in a sieve and the sieve is moved back and forth continuously. The smaller particles pass through the holes of the sieve and collect in a vessel kept below. The bigger particles remain behind in the sieve.

Examples of sieving:

  1. The sieving of flour is done to remove the coarse particles of flour (wheat bran) from it so as to obtain fine flour to make chapattis.
  2. In a flour mill, the impurities from the wheat are removed by the process of sieving before grinding it.
  3. Fine sand is obtained by the method of sieving to mix in cement for plastering walls of a house.
