Not 100% sure but icing sugar should work the same as normal sugar.
Place the mixture in water, stir it and then filter it through filter paper. The sugar will dissolve and pass through the paper, but the flour will not. Take the fluid and heat it gently the water will evaporate leaving behind crystals of icing sugar. The flour paste can also be heated, causing any leftover water to evaporate. This leaves you with pure sugar and poor flour separated.

I don't know for sure, but as flour is heavier than icing sugar, maybe that will sink to the bottom and the icing sugar will stay on top if its left to settle.

Flour should separate from sugar in water.

Separate or tell the difference? Flour is more weighty, whereas icing sugar is light and dusty.

I don't think that you can,Why did you mix them in the first place,i would sud jest that you start again if you are baking something,but once the two are mixed together you wont be able to separate them.

I don't think you can. both of them are soluble in water and in organic solvents.
