Abstract

A method for purification through sublimation includes a step of compressing a powdered object to be purified in a tight and compact manner such as granules or cakes under a preset pressure, temperature and time for containing a greater amount of substances in a unit volume so that the object to be purified has an improved heat transfer efficiency and heating power is more stable. During sublimation process a flowing inertia gas is channeled to carry the sublimated and purified substances so that the purified substance flow in the same direction for depositing.
