Since sugar is soluble in water and sand is not, it would be quite easy to separate them. You could place the mixture into a container with water, let the sugar dissolve (it will dissolve faster if the water is hot) and then pour the water through a filter, to filter out the sand. If you wanted to, you could let the water evaporate (or boil it away) leaving behind the sugar. This situation does not actually come up very often, but I would call the process selective dissolving.

You could place the sugar-clay mixture in a wire-mesh sieve, and rinse the mixture with water to dissolve the sugar and remove it from the clay. You would need to do this over a container that would collect the sugar water. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, you could evaporate the water from the sugar water, leaving the sugar behind. The clay would be left behind in the sieve.

The mixture of sugar-salt solution can be separated by evaporation. If the water is completely evaporated we will get separated sugar from the mixture.
