iodine crystals are black, table salt crystals are white.

however I doubt that was your question. I think you are referring to iodized table salt. there are no iodine crystals in iodized salt, instead they add sodium iodide to the table salt. sodium iodide crystals are indistinguishable visually from the sodium chloride crystals of table salt.

the only practical way to separate sodium iodide from sodium chloride is the very tedious repetitive process of dissolving the mixed salts and performing fractional crystallization of the solution.

How would you separate and purify constituents of mixture of salt of iodine?

To separate salt and iodine, you can use sublimation. The iodine will sublimate at room temperature, leaving the salt behind. To purify the iodine further, you can re-sublimate it by heating it gently and collecting the vapor to form pure iodine crystals.

Regular "table salt" is a compound of sodium and chlorine. Iodine is often added to it before it's sold, as a dietary supplement to protect against the dangers of iodine- deficiency diseases, but iodine is a separate element that's not involved in the composition of pure table salt. But there are "salts" of other elements too, and they include things like silver iodide and potassium iodide, in which iodine is part of the chemical compound.
