The separation method includes: conveying the separation subject (); distinguishing the first targets (); obtaining positional information of the first targets (); dropping the separation subject () from an end of a conveyance path; striking each of the dropping first targets with a pulsing first airflow (F) so as to change a drop path of the first targets (); and striking the first target, which is blown up to or above a predetermined height with a second airflow (F) so as to change the drop path of the first target ().
