- Sieving is typically used for separating particles by size through a mesh as we notice near construction sites.
- Filtration is a method used for separating an insoluble solid from liquid using a filter paper.
- Handpicking is a method used to separate a mixture using hands.
- Distillation is a process used to separate components of a homogenous mixture. It involves heat and a sophisticated apparatus and does not come under 'simple physical methods.'
So, sieving, handpicking and filtration are simple physical methods used to separate a heterogeneous mixture.
