Hey dear,
You can easily separate salt & aulphur by dissopving in water. But you don't want to do that, so I'll tell you alternative.
● Answer -
- First mix given sample in carbon disulphide.
- Carbon disulphide (being a non-polar solvent) dissolves sulphur but not sodium chloride.
- Heating the filtrate will give you sulphur as CS2 gets evaporated.
- Residue remained on filter paper is sodium chloride.
Hope this helped you...

Answer: Sulphur is soluble in carbon tetrachloride but sodium is insoluble in it. Thus a mixture of sulphur and sodium chloride can be separated by using carbon tetrachloride as solvent in place of water.
