Mix the salt and powder together in water until the salt dissolves.
Pour the mixture through filter paper to separate the powder from the water.
Boil the water so it evaporates and leaves the salt behind.
If the powder is iron, you can use a magnet to separate them rather than mixing in water.

First remove iron filings with a magnet. That leaves sand, salt and chalk dust. Add water which dissolves the salt, and filter leaving the sand and chalk dust on the filter paper. Put that back in water and add acid to dissolve the chalk dust (CaCO3) leaving the sand as a solid. Filter to obtain the sand.

One way to separate iron nails and salt is by using a magnet. Since iron is magnetic, you can move a magnet over the mixture and the iron nails will be attracted to the magnet, allowing you to separate them from the salt. Another method is to dissolve the mixture in water, as salt dissolves readily, and then use filtration to separate the solid iron nails from the dissolved salt solution.
