   A pure substance is just that, pure, only one type of element or compound and it can't be separated into other substances. (a note about PURE: 100% pure is virtually impossible, but we can get close)

   An example of a Homogeneous mixture being separated is 'homogenized' milk.  Just let it set on the counter for a day or two and you'll see it separate into whey and fat.  Milk has to be 'homogenized' to break the fat up into small enough particles that it will stay in solution and not separate out.

   Filtering and distillation are to physical means of separating homogenous mixtures.
