This cannot be done, the chlorine ions are so reactive that they combine with the water molecules forming hydrochloric acid before they could combine to form chlorine and leave the salt water.

The chlorine can only be physically separated by molten salt electrolysis (in the total absence of water, in the presence of water it can only be chemically exchanged for another element and the chlorine will remain in another compound still dissolved in the water).

The question as worded asked about separation (perhaps the wording was unintentionally ambiguous).
