Answer 2

Answer:

Sulphur

Explanation:

Try using a magnet and water. Sulphur is not soluble in water and will not sink as rapidly in water as iron. I would suggest putting the mixture in a plastic bottle full of water and and gently agitating it until the iron is all at the very bottom. Then place a magnet on the bottom of the bottle (outside) and dump the water out. Refill and repeat until the water runs clear. If you want to recover the Sulphur you could do a version of this without the water on a piece of paper.
