You need to extract the sugar from the solution.
Extract it by using a solvent where sugar dissolves but the salt won't. If the sugar dissolves more in your other solvent, the extraction will be faster. You might try isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol or IPA) as the solvent.
Step by step:
Get an separation funnel of the right size.
Pour in your solution.
Pour in the IPA. Confirm which layer is the aqueous (bottom) and which is the organic layer.)
Mix the two layers by gently shaking and swirling.
Separate the two layers, by decanting the top layer (fastest).
Repeat w/ fresh IPA.
If you want the sugar, then boil off or rotovaporate your IPA.
You'll have to check or determine the solubility of sugar in IPA (can't find it in my CRC Handbook, but I don't have alot of time).

Traditionally, salt is removed from sugar containing solutions by passing the syrup through columns packed with ion-exchange resin beads. The beads bind the Na and Cl ions and the effluent passing through will be the sugar water solution. If you want to recover the Na or the Cl ions then the beeds are rinsed with either a strong acid or base and quantitave recoveries can be made.

I'd use ionic exchange resins (cationic for the sodium ion, anionic for the chloride ion) or some zeolites with the appropriate size parameters. If you don't have to recover the NaCl, use electrolysis. If you don't have to recover the sugar, heat the mixture at 1000 deg C for an hour.

you're best bet is to disolve the mix in as little water as possible. filter and you'll get out a good chunk of your sugar. then boil off the water and the square crysals stuck to the bottom are your salt. sugar will just fall out it doesn't dissolve as well in water.

Lol, dont know, maybe you could boil out the water, then figure out salt and sugar melting points, then melt them. Just a guess

attempt college of cambridge>branch of chemistry>c2k,......you would possibly want to discover more advantageous on wikipedia following good judgment to three common paths to new pages and getting more advantageous exterior hyperlinks at bottom.
