The separation if occurring prior to any removal of conditions could absolutely impact your green card. That is why there are certain limits and conditions placed on such applications in the first place, to ensure people do not marry solely for the sake of immigration documentation approval. You should consider weighing your options and figure out whether reconciliation can occur or if you need to talk with an immigration attorney about maintaining your green card status and continuing without problem in the application process or waiting period.
