Chemistry help please

You have a soluble compound mixed in with insoluble sand. How can you extract the compound from the sand and then recover the metal ion?

=/ Can someone explain this to me?

1. Add water
2. Centrifuge (or the plain old "wait for contents to separate&quot
3. Remove the insoluble component
4. Extract soluble component by dehydration
