you have to know or check the chemical or physical properties of the components. Based in solubility in different solvents (water, ethanol, chloroform, etc), or boiling point or any other property, you design your own strategy. If you know the composition of your mix you can find the properties on tables or if you have the components of the sample in pure form you can check by yourself the solubility of each of them in different solvents. https://sites.google.com/a/wrps.net/lhs-ap-chemistry/home/lab-resources/lab-9
