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.
Sawdust itself is not a gas. It is a mixture of small wood particles and can be considered a solid or particulate matter. When sawdust is burned, it can release gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water vapor into the air.
Sawdust can be used as a fuel in a sawdust stove because it is readily available, renewable, and burns efficiently. When compacted into briquettes, sawdust can produce heat and energy for cooking or heating purposes. It is a sustainable alternative to traditional fuels and helps reduce waste disposal issues.
Sawdust can be used to insulate ice by surrounding the ice with a thick layer of sawdust, which helps to minimize heat transfer between the ice and its surroundings. The sawdust acts as a barrier, preventing external heat from reaching the ice, thus helping to maintain its low temperature for a longer period. It is important to ensure that the sawdust is tightly packed around the ice to enhance its insulating properties.
Using sawdust for spill cleanup is generally better than using salt because sawdust is more absorbent and can help contain spills more effectively. Sawdust also poses less risk to the environment compared to salt, which can contaminate soil and water sources.
pepper actually floats only some goes to the bottom in a water solution so after that you would need to filter the pepper and sawdust because it is larger and then evaporate the water.
Use a magnet to separate the iron filings, filter the remaining sawdust and sugar water solution, evaporate the water from the sugar water solution.
You can separate the components of the mixture by using a magnet to separate the iron filings from the sawdust and sugar. You can then use a sieve to separate the sawdust from the sugar based on particle size differences.
If sawdust gets wet, and is left wet for any length of time, the natural fermentation processes can generate enough heat to catch fire. A cat will bury his urine, leaving a wet volume buried in the sawdust, where it cannot evaporate, to ferment and heat up.

Use a magnet to seperate the iron. Then, add water to dissolve the salt and float the sawdust. Skim off, sieve or filter the solution to seperate the sawdust. Let the water evaporate, leaving the salt behind.
The "calorific value" (assuming you mean heat of combustion) of sawdust varies somewhat depending on the kind of wood the sawdust came from. It is also influenced by the amount of moisture in the sawdust - if the sawdust is not dry, some of the heat is absorbed to heat up the water and evaporate it instead of being given off as heat. The heating value of sawdust from softwoods (like pine) is typically about 20-22 MJ kg-1 and of hardwoods (like oak and maple) about 19-21 MJ kg-1. Note that despite the similarities of these ranges, there are plenty of woods that will yield higher and lower values; for example tests on poplar trees have a range of values of 19·49 MJ kg-1.

sawdust
Yes you can use sawdust provided it is made of pure pine sawdust. It should be noted that as it says in it's name sawdust is dusty and can cause respiratory problems in horses.
Add the mixture of sawdust, sand and salt to water. The sawdust will float and can be skimmed form the surface. The salt will dissolve in the water. The sand can be filtered from the mixture which remains. The salt water solution which remains can be heated and the water will evaporate leaving the salt behind.
Sawdust will not float in water. If you have some sawdust to dispose of, you should always place it in the proper waste containers.
