Electrolyse the molten salt. This will form sodium at the cathode and Cl2 at the anode.
Electrolysis of an aqueous solution odf salt will produce hydrogen at the cathode and chlorine gas at the anode.
Sodium and chlorine separately contain much more chemical energy than sodium chloride does. In order to separate them you must put that energy into the salt.
chlorine
No, chlorine is an element, consisting only of chlorine atoms. Common table salt contains chlorine in the form of the chloride ion (Cl-)
Do you have a system installed at the equipment pad that will convert the salt to chlorine? If not, then NO!.
A Salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in the case of a saltwater pool there is a chlorinater fited inline that converts the salt into chlorine automaticaly, Meaning that you don't have to purchace any chlorine to keep up chlorine levels.
add electric current to separate the sodium from the chlorine
You could melt Sodium chloride and use electrolysis to separate the Sodium and the Chlorine, which is how Sodium is produced on an industrial scale.
Probably but you wouldn't want to because separated Chlorine and Sodium are poisonous.

You can separate chlorine from common table salt by running an electric current through molten sodium chloride, which has a melting point of 801°C.
From what?If from water, evaporate the water.If you're talking sodium from chlorine, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_separate_the_sodium_and_chlorine_in_sodium_chloride
Dissolving salt in water is an example of a physical change. Although the ions of sodium and chlorine separate when the salt dissolves, no chemical reaction takes place.
Chlorine
Sodium and chlorine separately contain much more chemical energy than sodium chloride does. In order to separate them you must put that energy into the salt.
The salt should be an Iodide salt. Put the iodide salt into concentrated sulfuric acid. This will oxidize iodide to elementary Iodine.I- + H2SO4 ----> I2 + SO2 + H2O + HSO4-Another way is treating iodide salt with Chlorine, which will oxidize iodide to iodine and chlorine will be reduced to chloride.2 I- + Cl2 ----> I2 + 2 Cl-
A salt system makes chlorine, that's what its there for.
Ordinary salt is a compound formed from sodium and chlorine.
