No. Filtration is used for simple mixtures like coal and rock. To separate water and sugar evaporate water leaving you with sugar
Clarification:
Yes, you can. By pumping the water through a series of membrane filters using high pressure, you can remove the salt from water. It is a common practice on many oil rigs, as well as large ocean vessels such as ships.

No, you will have to boil the water with salt.
Or, if you cannot, just put the container with the water and salt mixture where there is sunlight and wait for 2-4 days :)

Why salt can't be separated from salt water by using filter paper?
The dissolved salt will go right through. Anything dissolved in water can't be separated out using filter paper. However, if you evaporate off the water, the salt remains in the container, and you can separate it that way.
Why do you separate a mixture of salt water and sand?
Since salt is soluble in water then you have to separate the mixture from sand first and this is done by filtration. The sand will be left in the filter paper and the filtererd solution would be that of salt and water. To get the salt you would then have to heat the solution and the water will evaporate leaving the salt behind.Filter Paper
Consider a mixture of sand salt and water how can you make use of the differences in properties of these materials to separate them?
Filter out the sand using filter paper. Boil away the water. You are left with salt.
How would you separate gold dust from a mixture of iron filings and salt?
Mix with water, the pass through a filter paper. The salt will be dissolved in the water so it will be removed with the water, leaving the iron filings and gold dust on the filter paper. Leave this to dry then separate off the iron filings using a magnet, leaving behind the gold.
How would you separate a mixture of sand and salt?
Evaporation is recommended. Firstly, put salt and sand into water and stir well to dissolve the salt. Secondly, filter out the sand from the salt solution using a filter funnel and filter paper. Thirdly, place the beaker of salt solution on a Bunsen burner until it evaporates fully and only salt crystals are left. Lastly, heat the salt crystals and sand until it is dry.
Why do you use filter paper to separate sand from water and not salt from water?
Because the salt dissolves in the water whereas sand does not.
How can separate water and salt without lossing of water?
Get a filter funnel and filter paper and pour in solution . water will run through and salt left behind
How do you separate salt water from the mixture of chalk powder mixed in water?
Pass the mixture through filter paper. The salt water will pass through leaving the chalk behind in the filter paper.
How do you separate pure salt from salt?
Dissolve the whole salt in a warm water, then filter it out. By evaporating the filtrate, we shall get pure salt. The impurities will left on the filter paper(as these are insoluble in water).

Separation of sugar and water?
Salt does not desolve in pure grain alcohol. Put the mixture in the solution, then filter through filter paper or a coffee filter. then evaporate the alcohol and your left with salt in the filter and sugar in the other end.
How can you separate sand water and salt?
Separate the sand grains using a fine mesh. Separate salt from the water by using evaporation (leaving the salt crystals behind), and condensation (turning the evaporated water vapor back into a liquid).
How do you separate sand from the salt?
Put the sand and salt mixture into a beaker of water. Put more water or raise the temperature of the water until the salt completely disappears. Pour everything in the beaker onto a piece of filter paper. The sand will stay on the filter paper while the water and salt solution will pass through the filter paper. To obtain the sale, simply boil the water and the remaining solid after all the water boiled is salt.
How do you separate salt and sand without filter paper?
In order to separate sand and salt without filter paper you need to place mixture in container with an excess of water. You use an excess of the solvent so that you decant the salt water with a pipette or what ever you are using. Remember you will want to stir the mixture so salt goes into solution. You can repeat adding water to your liking and removing more salt water and then dry the sand.
Can you separate salt and water with paper?
You cannot do it with paper.
