Madeleine Patrick · Answer 1

Magnet to remove the iron, filter paper (or some filter that could trap sand) to remove the sand, and heat up the salt and water, causing the water to evaporate to separate them.

Aleah Koch · Answer 2

You would filter out the sand with a coffee filter, use a magnet to remove the iron, and boil the rest to remove the salt from the water by evaporating the water.
