Sawdust is recycled in many different ways. It is compacted into logs and kerosene is added and a starter log is formed. Other companies use sawdust as filler material in the voids while making plywood and interior doors. In small quantities sawdust is added to the compost bin or directly to the soil to decompose. It can be used as a replacement for hay in a barn or in the bottom of a hampster cage. It can be used as a mulch in a flower bed or a garden. It works great for absorbing a small oil spill in the garage or on concrete. If you use it as a mulch, add lime to keep the pH from getting too high.

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!

Why does sawdust explode?
Sawdust Explosions: Sawdust normally does not explode. The conditions have to be just right, the sawdust dust cloud has to have just enough space between particles to have abundant oxygen, and yet the particles must be close enough to ignite nearby particles. The explosion is due to the large surface area that is exposed to oxygen, burning wood is typically limited by the amount of oxygen that can get to the surface of the wood, this is why blacksmiths used to pump air into forges for more heat. It can also catch fire if it is a large pile, like at a sawmill, especially since sawdust at a mill will have traces of oil used as a lubricant for the machinery used to process the wood. As the wood decomposes, it can create heat. The weight of the sawdust in the pile creates pressure. If the heat and pressure become great enough, the sawdust can spontaneously combust, creating a fire. Once the sawdust pile gets large at sawmills, some owners spread the sawdust out in order to prevent that from happening.
