Hello everyone. Today we are being asked to classify the falling separation method as distillation filtration, chromatography, removing dust and other particulates from the air using air purifiers. So air purifiers actually use HEPA filters and so that kind of gives away the answer as per taking in a process known as filtration, These HEPA filters are embedded with a special mesh that separate the air from different particulates depending on size and so they can filter different particular, such as pollen, hairs, smoke and dust. Ultimately, though, this is a process of filtration, I hope this helped, and until next time.
