That would depend on the properties of the substances in the mixture. You can separate mixtures based on differences in boiling points by distillation. If the substances have different isoelectric points, they can be separated by ion-exchange chromatography. If the substances are made up of molecules of significantly different size, then each type of molecule can be separated by size-exclusion chromatography.
There are many more examples of ways that mixtures can be separated, but without more information it's impossible to say which would be best for your particular scenario.
