A question about superation.

[sunny789]

Is it possible to superate 2 different powders which are crushed together, I mean, suppose you crush a coconut, with the outside shell, after crushing them, how can i superate the shell powder from the coconut flesh powder, which is also called copra powder.
Thank You.

Do you mean "seperate" or is this a new word?

Of cource powders can be seperated out. Depending on the physical properties, perhaps one dissolves easily in water or alchohol, maybe one is heavier that the other and can be seperated by having the lighter stuff blown off by a fan, maybe one is more stongly attracted by an electric current than the other. All sorts of ways, but I do not know the specifics of your coconut example.

Oh, lol, I knew there was a spelling mistake but it said that it was the correct spelling on Google.=/

And, is there any way I can find out any method, or is there any existing method allready to superate them?

That's something you have to watch out for with spellcheck - when you have a real word but it's not the word you mean.

Separate means to divide something up. Superate means to exceed something. Sperate means to hope for something. Suppurate means when a wound gets infected.

Anyway if you have two powders mixed together and you want to separate them, you should try shaking them. The different densities and particle sizes should cause the powders to divide. But it will be a slow process.
