A refined substance is a substance without any impurity.
But a mixture is neither pure nor a refined substance.
A mixture consists of different elements or compounds combined physically in an unknown ratio.
The constituents of a mixture are not combined chemically, and so the mixture still shows all the properties of its constituents.
