Which method separates mixtures according to the rates their components travel through a material? yhaoo answers?

The hint you should note here is the 'travel through a material'. From this, you can think of separation techniques where the components have to go through a material. This could be filtration or membrane separation. However, in filtration, the rate is not a factor. You only have to separate solid from liquid. For membrane separation, you can separate two liquids based on their permeability to the membrane.
