You can evaporate, or distill off the water. Then you'll get the CuSO4, along with any non-volatile impurities that may be present. Or you can do a recrystalization. You boil the solution until the CuSO4 just starts to crystalize out. Then you let the solution cool. As it cools, the solubility of the salt decreases, and more & more of it crystalizes. When cooling, you may end up with a super-saturated solution, instead of crystals being formed. In that case, scratching the inside of the beaker with a glass rod will initiate the crystalization process. With recrystalization, the product is also purified.

A distillation set up requires a source of heat (Bunsen burner, for a lab demo) a container with the solution, a condenser (a length of tubing removed from the heat, through which the steam will pass) and a container to cath the distilled water. The condenser may have a cooling jacket around it, with chilled water running through the jacket. The cooling water and the water to be distilled never come into contact, It is used as a heat exchanger only.

Didn't you answer your own question? Simple distillation.

Maybe your should rephrase your question if you meant something else.
