Abstract
This invention is directed to a method and system for purifying hexafluoroethane near its critical temperature and pressure, particularly where the hexafluoroethane contains at least about 1 ppb by weight of a non-volatile residue. A combination of a sand trap, an adsorption assembly made of a glass wool-molecular sieve-glass wool combination, and a filter is used.
