If it is pure iron it is an element, but if anything else is in it then it is a mixture of iron and whatever else is mixed in with it.

Actually it is both, see the Iron being Filed is done with a Tool, both the Tool and the Iron leave matter. So the end result is Part Iron and Part Tool.
Tool can be a File, Mill, Grinder. many things. But in the process they both leave deposits. So the deposists are mixed. They are Seperate Elements, but they are Mixed and in some cases Fused.

Salt may well be dissolved in water leaving sand and iron filings as quickly as the salty water is filtered into yet another field. Use a magnet to split the iron filings from the sand finally what you is left with type of ninety 9% sand; one % is salty water and iron too tiny to be picked up via magnet. might desire to you desire stable salt lower back, basically permit the salty water take a seat in sunlight to evaporate.
