Yes, for example a mixture of gold dust, iron, sand, and pebbles is separated this way:

  1. the iron can be separated with a magnet
  2. the pebbles can be separated using a mesh screen that lets the gold dust and sand fall through but not the pebbles
  3. the gold dust and sand can be separated using water suspension, the gold dust rapidly settles to the bottom, the sand slowly settles on top due to density differences
