Use a magent to pick out the iron particles. Soak the remainder in water until the salt is dissolved - dry the water, leaving behind a pile of salt.

What is Mercury into gold?

No. One can not transform one element into another. However Mercury may be used to extract gold from gold containing sand. The gold will dissolve in the mercury which can then be boiled away to leave the gold. This will APPEAR to make mercury change into gold but this is not the case, you have to put the gold into the mercury first.PLEASE NOTE - Mercury is VERY VERY toxic/poisonous and using it to extract gold this way is dangerous to the environment and harmful to the people doing it (especially the boiling away mercury phase) - do not refine gold this way, use a mechanical separation process.
