1. Sublimation: 

The change of solid directly into vapour is called sublimation. The solid changes directly into vapour on heating and on cooling again solidifies without changing into liquid.

Example: Separation of salt and ammonium chloride by sublimation.

2. Sedimentation and decantation: 

The process of settling down of heavier insoluble particles from mixture is called sedimentation.

Decantation: The process of transferring the clear and clean liquid without disturbing the sediments is called Decantation.

Example: This method ca be used to purify impure water.
