What will freeze first water and sawdust or water?
Water
How Sawdust can be used in filtration for waste water treatment?
Filtering the waste water through sawdust will remove large pieces of solid matter (such as grit, paper etc).
How can you separate sawdust from gravel?
Place the sawdust and gravel mixture in water and stir. Let it sit for a time - the gravel will fall to the bottom and the sawdust will float on the top. Density of gravel is greater than water and density of sawdust (wood) is less than water. The layer of sawdust can be carefully removed by skimming it off water's surface or by pouring gravel and sawdust through a series of mesh screens of varying size (the screens can be used with dry or wet mixture)I would use the difference in density of the two materials. A simple method would be to have a stream of the mixed materials poured from a higher elevation to a lower, with a stream of air blowing across the stream. Being less dense, the sawdust will be blown to one side, the gravel will drop straight down. Of course, you COULD just drop the mixed materials into water- sawdust floats, gravel does not. Sawdust will also burn, where gravel will not. Roasting the gravel at a heat above the combustion point of sawdust will cause it to ignite, burning the sawdust away, leaving gravel. Of course, if you have plenty of time, just turn a few termites loose on the mix- they will eat wood- but not gravel!
Is sawdust an element?
No. Sawdust is a mixture.
How do you separate sand salt and sawdust into pure states?
If all three are mixed together you can separate the sawdust from the group with a Sieve filter with holes smaller than the sawdust, but larger than the sand/salt particles. You could then use another sieve, if the sand and salt particles are significantly different in size,...OR add water to the mix....the salt will dissolve into solution leaving the sand behind. Pour off the water and let it evaporate, leaving the salt behind. Put the mixture of sand, salt and sawdust into a quantity of water: the sand will sink to the bottom, sawdust will float and salt will dissolve. Skim off (and dry) the floating sawdust. Pour off the water containing the dissolved salt. This is then heated to cause all the water to evaporate (leaving behind the salt). The remaining residue in the original container (wet sand) can now be dried off with heat.
What happens when you mix sawdust and water?
you get watered-down sawdust
How do you make sawdust heavy?
Apply water to it or use high mass of sawdust.
Does sawdust float?
Sawdust will not float in water. If you have some sawdust to dispose of, you should always place it in the proper waste containers.
What will freeze first water and sawdust or water?
Water
Will saw dust dissolve in water?
Most people think of something being soluble if it will dissolve in water. Sawdust doesn't dissolve in water. In general the cellulose and other structures that compose sawdust are not particularly soluble until they are broken down chemically - which is not really dissolving. Once they have been broken down, the resulting products can be dissolved - but at that point you aren't really dissolving sawdust anymore, you are dissolving the products of the chemical reactions that have broken down the sawdust.
How do you separate sawdust from nails?
If the "plastic" sawdust truly is plastic, then it won't dissolve or go mushy in water. Real sawdust will.
How Sawdust can be used in filtration for waste water treatment?
Filtering the waste water through sawdust will remove large pieces of solid matter (such as grit, paper etc).
How will you separate the components of a mixtures containing sawdust sugar and iron filings?
Use a magnet to separate the iron filings, filter the remaining sawdust and sugar water solution, evaporate the water from the sugar water solution.

How do you separate sawdust and pumice?
we will use some methodsto separate pumice from water we will use a magnateto separate sawdust from water we will use the method of sedimentation , to make it more clear we will use the method of filtration
How do you separate a mixture of pepper sugar and sawdust?
pepper actually floats only some goes to the bottom in a water solution so after that you would need to filter the pepper and sawdust because it is larger and then evaporate the water.
