ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method for purification of non-stoichiometric crystalline compounds by cycling said compound through successive steps of sublimation and crystallization. Purification can be accomplished by providing a vacuum chamber containing a cavity at the entry end, the exit end of which is open to the ambient. The vacuum chamber is charged at the entry end with the compound to be purified and the vacuum chamber is sealed at the exit end with a cap provided with a cooling finger for the eventual condensation of the purified compound. The compound to be purified is then heated under a vacuum in the vacuum chamber. A local temperature gradient is provided in the cavity of the vacuum chamber which moves slowly down the cavity. Successive acts of sublimation of the compound to be purified occur at the rear (hot side) of the temperature gradient and successive acts of crystallization occur at the front (cool side) of the temperature gradient, thus realizing large scale elimination of impurities and approaching a composition of the point P.sub.min.
