It is virtually impossible to separate salt and water with a sieve unless the two materials have not been touched. This is because when salt is combined with water, it dissolves, and then it is mixed in with the water. To separate these two materials, you have to let the water evaporate, so then the salt is left.

Using a standard wire screen mesh sieve is usually not the most effective means of separating oil from water. If the oil has formed an emulsion with the water it will be nearly impossible to strain it out. Some oil may be captured by the sieve if the oil is viscous or has formed a sludge that flows poorly through the sieve. Being a liquid, the oil will most likely follow the water through the sieve.

With a sieve (or more sure with a filter) you can separate a water solution of salt from sand. After the evaporation of water you obtain crystallized salt.

Pour the mixture through a sieve. The salt and sand will fall through the sieve, leaving just the stones. Then put the sand-salt mixture in water. Stir it until the salt is completely dissolved.
