it depends on what you are trying to separate.
if the carbon monoxide is in cylinders and you want to separate those cylinders from cylinders of nitrogen, just move the cylinders to the other side of the room.
if the carbon monoxide is attached to your hemoglobin and you want to separate that, you need some oxygen therapy
i could go on, but its probably better if you give more details

separate carbon monoxide from what?

You know, there are some ways to separate CO; one of them is used in respirators: such substance as MnO2 (manganese dioxide) can easily react with CO to form harmless manganese carbonate MnCO3. The reaction:
MnO2 + CO = MnCO3 is a redox one, MnO2 is a good (and cheap) oxidizer and CO shows reductive properties.
Another chemical method is reaction with CuCl (copper (I) chloride) solution to form stable complex CuCl*CO. This is a qualitative reation to discover and separate carbon monoxide in gaseous mixtures, and it is often used in chemistry olympiads.

You may separate carbon monoxide from air.You can try partial distillition.

if u want to separate carbon monoxide from air, you can try fractional distillation

Separate it from air/carbon dioxide:
technically: liquifying the air.
analytically: in a gas chromatograph
biologically: irreversible reaction with hemoglobine
