Abstract
PURIFICATION methods which treat the concentration of a given impurity as a continuous quantity become ineffective when only a discontinuous distribution of that impurity is left in a material. Further purification is feasible on a dispersion principle which makes use of this discontinuity, and by which liquids have been observed free from particles at temperatures too low to cause the latter to be melted or dissolved.
