Solution

Magnetic separation: The process of separating the solid-solid mixture by using a magnet is called magnetic separation.
This method of separation is possible only when one of the constituents in the mixture is magnetic in nature.
Example: 1. A mixture of Sulphur and Iron filings.
2. A mixture of sand and Iron filings.
3. A mixture of Iron filings and sawdust.
Therefore, Iron is separated from waste by magnetic separation.
