Put them in a beaker. Add water to the mixture. Agitate to insure dissolution. Centrifuge the colloidal suspension. Pour off the water into a different beaker and heat to 100C. Salt will be in the beaker where water was after complete evaporation. Sand will be in the other after drying. Sand doesn't dissolve in water. Salts do.

Put the mixture into water, the NaCL will dissolve and you can then pour the solution off the sand and evaporate the water to leave the NaCL

How is it possible to separate salt from sand in the sandsalt mixture?

Solvent extraction is the best method. Lets look at the components. We know salt is very soluble in water yet sand is not. Add the mixture to water and stir well. Filter it. The material left in the filter paper will be sand and the solution recovered will be salt solution - you can recover the solid salt vis evaporation.


Can fractional distillation best separate a mixture of sand and sulfur?

Fractional distillation is not the best separation method for a sand and sulfur mix. It's a very poor choice as it won't work. Use a solvent for the sulfur like dimethyl ether of, say, diethylene glycol. It will take the sulfur into solution and you can wash the solution out of the sand.


Separation method for sand and water?
