Hi,
The separation is possible by one of distillation processes type.
With my best regards!

I Think that this paper can help you Separation of tert-Butyl Alcohol-Water Mixtures by a Heterogeneous Azeotropic Batch Distillation Process

How much water is present? If small quantities, then molecular sieve or anhydrous sodium sulfate or phosphorus pentoxide can be used to dry the alcohol.
