I assume you mean during an extraction or wash in a sep funnel. It depends on many factors: 1) Choice of solvent. Dichloromethane is very prone to forming emulsions, while it is almost impossible to form one with ethyl acetate. 2) Shaking violently tends to form emulsions. For this reason use a gentle rocking motion to mix the two layers. 3) If an emulsion does form, adding a small amount of brine can often break up the emulsion. 4) If an emulsion forms and you can't get rid of it, you can just wait it out (but sometimes it takes an entire night... not a big deal if your purification is not pressing).
