Suggest how you could obtain solid sodium chloride from a mixture of sand sodium chloride?

Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride will yield chlorine gas and liquid sodium metal which will cool to solid sodium metal. Electrolysis is best though reaction of molten NaCl with potassium, rubidium or cesium would be an alternative (not producing chlorine but exchanging metals to form the other chlorides).Actually any of these reactions are not a (physical) extraction as said in the question.
