Answer is: boiling.

Solution has a uniform composition and is able to be separated by physical means.

Solution is homogeneous mixture has the same proporties of its components throughout any given sample.

For example, mixture of water and salt, can be separated with distillation (process of heating and cooling). Water evaporates and salt remain in the beaker.
