How do you break- chemically- salt into its's component parts sodium and chloride?
When that is done can sodium and chloride be changed or broken into anything else?
ie Can salt be neutralised, changed or otherwise 'got-rid-of?

Salt can be decomposed through the electrolysis whilst in molten form (which I would imagine would take a lot of heat). The sodium and chlorine will gather near their respective electrodes (based on charge). I would imagine that very specialized equipment would be needed however, since one would not want the elemental sodium and chlorine to react with one another. That would be very violent.
