No, because neither of them sublimate at 760 torr (1 atm). They melt. You could separate them by melting point, as NaCl has a melting point of 801ºC, but KCl has a melting point of 770ºC.

Is sublimation of sodium chloride chemical or physical change?
Sublimation is a physical change.
How many elements in potassium chloride?
There are two elements in potassium chloride. One atom of potassium and one atom of chlorine react to form potassium chloride.
Is calcium chloride and potassium chloride crystals in a beaker a pure substance?
Calcium chloride and potassium chloride are pure substances.
Which is strong electrolyte potassium chloride or calcium chloride?
Both potassium chloride and calcium chloride are strong electrolytes when dissolved in water or when molten.
How do they get potassium?
By electrolysis of Molten Potassium chloride
How do you separate of sodium chloride and potassium trioxonitrate?
Mixture of sodium chloride and potassium trioxonitrate it is a substance that can be separated into the seperating device called sublimation
Does camphor and sodium chloride be separated by sublimation?
Yes. Camphor will sublime whereas sodium chloride will not. Hence they can be separated by sublimation.
How ammonium chloride is separated from common salt?
sublimation
How can you separate potassium chloride and ammonium chloride?
A mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride can be separated using the process of sublimation. You must also note that both these substances are sublimable. So, the question arises that how can these substances be separated using this technique? This technique is quite feasible in this case as the sublimable temperatures of ammonium and potassium chloride differ widely. Between the two, ammonium chloride (See the related link) has lower sublimable temperatures. Therefore, it sublimes first followed by potassium chloride.

How to separate a mixture of sodium chloride and ammonium chloride?
Sodium chloride and ammonium chloride can be separated either by sublimation or filtration or crystallization. Sublimation can be found on this site ------------ http://www.lenntech.com/Chemistry/sublimation.htm. I personally think that this method is the easiest.
How do you separate a mixture of potassium chloride and iodine give details?
Should be by sublimation. We make use of the fact that iodine sublimes(changes to solid to gas immediately) upon heating why potassium chloride does not :D
Sublimation process of sodium chloride and camphor?
sublimation of camphor
Does potassium chloride contain gluten?
No, potassium chloride contains potassium chloride.
What is the compound name for KCl?
Potassium chloride
What is the process of separating ammonium chloride from ammonium chloride and sodium chloride?
sublimation
How Can you separate ammonium chloride from water?
by the process of sublimation the mixture of sodium chloride and ammonium chloride is placed in a dish and covered with an inverted funnel on heating, ammonium chloride will change into vapour,which will condense into a solid in the neck of the funnel ,whereas sodium chloride was left behind the dish
