A good manner of salt amoniac purification is by SUBLIMATION.
I want to sublimate 2-3 oz so what is the best method?
two reactors or around 2-3 liters mouth by mouth with cold clotes around???
a big funnel with cotton in the lower mouth?

Small quantities are easily sublimed (note spelling) ─ collect the sublimate on a large inverted funnel sitting on the dish.
Forced cooling isn't required for a few ounces...

Its not a sublimation, you are forming two separate gases that re-react to form NH4Cl.
NH4Cl(s) -> NH3(g) + HCl(g) -> NH4Cl(s)
I have had good success with using an apparatus like this for cleaning moderate quantities of NH4Cl.

and 2 or 3 oz do not fall?njl - 14-5-2021 at 10:05
If it falls it will land on the watchglass!pneumatician - 23-5-2021 at 02:23
Fill with substrate, put circulant water through condenser, apply vacuum and heat. Collect sublimate. Repeat.
Beaker with flask and watchglass seems to be a great solution, and the size can be increased probably up to 10L beaker/flask if enough heating power
is available.
I could imagine that industry uses horizonal vacuum vessels that can be constantly fed and extracted with substrate, and the have condensers with
mechanical scrapes that constantly sublime and then scrape the sublimate to fall off into an auger for takeoff. The heated reserve likely has a bottom
auger to extract the impurities left behind.pneumatician - 23-5-2021 at 08:46
