It can be simply separated by Boiling. Heat the solution until all the water evaporates and there will be a left over of salt. If you also want to save the water, you can use the process of Distillation or Recrystallization.

∙ 6y agoSalt water contains two different pure substances, water and sodium chloride. Because these substances are not bonded together they can be separated by evaporation. The water evaporates and leaves salt crystals behind.
Desalinating sea water is commercially and practically accomplished by osmosis, where the sea water is forced through a very fine membrane, as a way to provide drinking water where only sea water is available.
On a small scale:
Distillation:
Heat the salty water and condense the water vapour back into water. This will leave the salt crystals behind.
Distillation is the most common way to get pure water from salt water. Note that more exotic techniques can also be used, such as reverse osmosis. In distillation, the water is boiled, and the water vapor is collected. The vapor is condensed to produce fresh water, whereas the salt is left behind in the boiling vessel.
In reverse osmosis, the salt water is pumped through a semipermeable membrane, which only allows the water to pass through, not the salt. Pure water crosses the membrane, whereas the salt impurities are left behind. Note that osmosis normally operates in the opposite direction, and thus this process must be forced with tremendous pressures, requiring a great deal of energy.
Usually destillation or filtration.

∙ 12y agoA solution of salt and water can be separated by evaporation. In this method, the liquid is evaporated, leaving the salt behind. Thus, the liquid is NOT retained.
However, if the desired salt is a hydrated one, that is, the salt contains water, the process of crystallization is used.

Does salt water separate when frozen?
When a mixture of salt and water freeze, the two substances will not separate. The mixture will just become frozen salt water.
How do you separate common salt from the mixture of common salt and water?
By evaporation of the water and crystallization of the salt.
Describe a procedure that can be used to separate a liquid homogeneous mixture of salt and water?
You can simply separate salt and water by distillation method.
Salt water can be separated by evaporation?
Yes. You can separate water from a salt solution by evaporation.
How do you separate salt and water after the salt is dissolved?
You get two cups then you put your hand on the cup that has the water and the salt and pour it and there it is
Will a hot plate separate salt water?
A hot plate will separate salt water.
How we separate salt from salt water?
Evaporate the water.
How were you able to separate the salt from the water?
In order to separate salt from water, you need to boil the water. Once all of the water has evaporated, the salt will be at the bottom of the container the water was boiled in.
Can you used filtation to separate salt?
No, it cannot separate salt from a salt solution. This is because salt is soluble in water.
What equipment can be used to separate salt water?
To separate salt water into salt and fresh water you can use:a distillation apparatus, ora reverse osmosis process
What will happen when you separate salt from salt water?
You will have some salt and some fresh water.
How do you separate dry salt from salt water?
Evaporating water dried salt is obtained.
What process did you use to separate salt from water?
A common process one can use to separate salt from water is distillation.
How do you separate water from a salt and water solution?
You boil the salt water so the water evaporates, leaving salt.
Does salt water separate when frozen?
When a mixture of salt and water freeze, the two substances will not separate. The mixture will just become frozen salt water.
Can salt water be made from salt and water?
Yes. Saltwater can be made from a separate salt and water solvent.
Can you separate the salt or water in the salt solution?
Yes
