You can pull the iron out with a magnet. Heat the mixture, taking appropriate safety precautions, and the naphthalene will sublime off and can be collected on a cold surface. Add the remainder to water, the salt will dissolve and the sand won't. Filter to collect the sand, and crystallize the salt from the filtrate.
