Dear Student

Centrifugation separates the components of heterogeneous mixtures. These include liquids in liquids, solids in liquids, and solids and liquids in gases. Since colloids are mixture of dispersed phase in dispersed medium forming an heterogeneous mixture. Thus, they can easily be separated by centrifuge in all cases.
