Hey! Im doing an assignment for prelim chem and i cant figure out hwo to do it!!

The uestion is
"Identify data sources,gather process and analyse information from secondary sources to identify the industrial seperation processes used on a mixture obtained from the biosphere,lithosphere,hydrosphere or atmpsphere and use the evidence available to

1)Identify the properties of the mixture used in its seperation
2)Identify the prodcts of seperation and their uses
3)Discuss issues associated with wastes from the processes used.

What mixtures could i possbly do!! HELP!!

OMG, im doing this at the moment too!! lol!! We have to do it on "fractional distillation of crude oil" and "desalination of seawater." The sites I'm using to help me is: http://www.sydneywater.com.au/EnsuringTheFuture/Desalination/Factsheets.cfm and http://www.caltex.com.au/community_ref.asp

when i did this last year i did:
atmosphere - separating the components of air using fractional distillation
lithosphere - Using Froth Floatation to Separate Chalcopyrite from Gangue
biosphere - Separating the Proteins in Blood Serum Using Electrophoresis
hydrosphere - Softening hard Water by Ion Exchange

Some of the websites i used were:

http://ww.vicims.com.au/teacher_services/lesson_plans/froth_floatation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Water

www.webelements.com/webelements/scholar/elements/nitrogen/uses.html
www.umcsea.edu.sg/chem/GradeEight/UsesofOxygen.htm

Im not sure how good the websites are, but i hope this helps.
