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.


How do you separate sulfur sand iron filings?

Iron fillings has the property of being magnetic, so you could pass it through a magnetic drum to remove it leaving sulfur and sand. Since sulfur is a solute it will dissolve in water leaving sand and forming a solution. You can then pass that through a filter separating the sand and the solution containing water and sulfur. Now you can put the solution in an evaporating basin to evaporate the water leaving the sulfur.
