Abstract
Solids are fractionally desublimed in vapor form from a gas/vapor mixture by providing a nozzle through which a gas/vapor mixture containing a solid is accelerated, the nozzle being provided with a concentric opening which allows a cooling gas flowing laterally at a high velocity to impinge upon and mix with the gas/vapor mixture flowing through the nozzle in the mixing zone of the nozzle thereby forming a gas/solid mixture, passing the gas/vapor mixture through the nozzle and the cooling gas through the concentric opening such that the angle at which the cooling gas emerges from the concentric opening into the flow of the gas/vapor mixture to the direction of flow of the gas/vapor mixture ranges from 0.17 pi rad to 0.75 pi rad, the temperature of the resulting gas/solid mixture in the mixing zone being adjusted by the flow rate of the cooling gas in such a way that the temperature is below the sublimation temperature of the desired product solid but above the sublimation temperature of the by-products in the gas/vapor mixture, and allowing the gas/solid mixture to exit the nozzle in the direction of flow of the gas/vapor mixture through the nozzle.
