Depending on what form the iron is. If it is one of it's oxides or hydroxides, you end up with FeCl2 or FeCl3 which dissolve in water. You would of course get other elements as well : Na, K, Ca, Mg and many others. Then add some NaOH to get Fe(OH)3 precipitate. Filter it out. Heat at high temp with charcoal to get some impure iron.
