erm
actually there are how many separation process of enantiomer?

here is some good explanations of stereo chemistry courtesy of two professors  at one time from Colby College.

A common way of separating enantiomers is to convert them to a diastereomer via a reversible reaction with another chiral reagent.  Since diastereomers have different chemical or physical properties, the diastereomers can be separated then reacted back to the original material.  The following page goes into a bit more detail

On a smaller scale, chromatography with a chiral stationary phase (e.g. cyclodextrins) can be used.
