Both the components in the mixture are insoluble in water. However, calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride (which is soluble in water) whereas the sand remains unchanged. Sand can now be separated by filtration. Calcium carbonate is recovered back by treating the filtrate (calcium chloride) with sodium carbonate. After filtration is again carried out, what you have on the filter paper is calcium carbonate.
