distillation
The best method is distillation.
For example solvent extraction.
Flocculation! Silt is not going to settle out because the particle size allows it to remain suspended. If you add a bit of a flocculant such as alum, it allows the clay particles to be attracted to each other to form large clumps that will settle. This is the method that city water treatment plants use to treat millions of gallons per year...If it isn't the best way, at least it is the cheapest.
Not really, The best way is to use a separating funnel.
First you but the solution in a flask, then heat this up with a Bunsen burner. the steam or water particles then go down the condenser pipe where the water particles are cooled, then the water particles turn in water again at the other end in a vile.
fractional distillation
Allow the water to evaporate, leaving behind the salt would be effective for separating salt and water in a mixture.
Via filtration, through a 0.45um glass fibre filter.
The best method is distillation.
The best method is fractional distillation.
Filtration is the best method.
Heating the solution water is deleted by evaporation.
For example solvent extraction.
Using a separating funnel is the best option.
The best process for separating powder from water depends on the powder. If the powder dissolves in the water, then boiling the water and condensing it (distillation), will separate the two components. If the powder does not dissolve in the water, then simple filtration will separate the two.

A mixture of sugar and water is best called a solution.
