What methods can be used to separate components of a homogeneous mixture of solid and liquid?

One method is filtration, where the solid is separated from the liquid using a filter. Another method is centrifugation, where the mixture is spun at high speeds to separate the components based on their densities. Additionally, evaporation can be used to separate the liquid component from the solid by heating the mixture to evaporate the liquid and leaving behind the solid.
