      Introduction/Abstract

The purpose of sludge is to separate and identify five properties for each of the substances in the sludge.
Sludge number eleven looked like a purple/brown liquid resting at the top mixed with yellow granules, silver pebbles, and a metal rod resting at the bottom of it. There was also a soluble solid that was brown and powdery that went away when the sludge mixture was shaken.
We separated our sludge by using the following techniques. We began by decanting our sludge. We did this so we could separate the insoluble solids from the liquid, pigments, and soluble solid. Next we separated our insoluble solids by physical means. We did this so that we could separate the three solids from each other.   After that we distilled. We did this to separate the two liquids from the soluble solid and pigments. Then we did chromatography.   That was done to find out...
