You can use magnetism because if you do use this technique the iron will get magnified and then it will separate from the aluminum.

How can you separate aluminum and iron nails?
Take each nail and weigh it. Then use water displacement to find its volume. Use these two pieces of data to find the density. If the nail's density is about 2.70 g/cm3, then it's aluminum. If it is about 7.87 g/cm3, then it is an iron nail. Do this for every nail.

Can magnets attract iron filings?
Yes A magnet would help you separate a mixture of iron nails and iron screws because the magnet when you wave it over the iron nails it will pick them up and then you just wipe them off the magnet with a paper towel and then your iron screws are separated Answer: NO!!!! The magnet would pick up nails and screws equally if they were both made of iron and were the same weight. A magnet would pick up something lighter more easily, but unless all of your nails were one weight and all of your nails were another weight, the magnet would not be able to separate them.
