Sublimation is a technique used by chemists to purify compounds. Typically a solid is placed in a sublimation apparatus and heated under vacuum. Under this reduced pressure the solid volatilizes and condenses as a purified compound on a cooled surface (cold finger), leaving a non-volatile residue of impurities behind. Once heating ceases and the vacuum is removed, the purified compound may be collected from the cooling surface.

Numerous solids are capable of being sublimes at elevated temperatures and or reduced pressures. The only requirement is that the solid must have a slight vapor pressure under the applied conditions.
