Depends on the mixture, but if it were sand and water you could use filtration paper or just boil the water to make it evaporate leaving only sand behind.

If you wish to take the iron out of the sand grab a magnet and your sand will be clear! This separation technique is called magnesium. If you are separating the sand from a lighter solute (solid) like sawdust use flotation. Place them in water and the sand will drain down to the bottom whilst the sawdust will float on top.
