How do I separate a mixture of liquids?

If they are homogenous (miscible), you can use distillation or try to freeze one of them out. Neither technique is perfect; the removed material is not 100% pure. Repeated applications may be necessary

If they are not miscible and form two phases then these can be physically separated using a separating funnel.

There are other methods if there are very small amounts of the liquids.
