Interesting stuff, Matthew.

Can you sketch any details of such a process? You mentioned a long 
tube, for instance.

I can imagine putting a long glass tube full of DMSO inside a 
refrigerator, for instance, and letting it freeze.

It would then be pretty easy, mechanically, to rig a screw-drive to a 
gear motor that would transport a ring shaped heating element gradually 
the length of the tube, melting a zone of the contents, which would re-
freeze after it passes.

Or use a slow running gear motor and a cam or lever to raise and lower 
the cylinder in and out of an ice-bath.

What I'm sort of wondering is, at which end of the tube would the 
various impurities concentrate? Or would different impurities end up at 
each end, depending on their melting point? So you'd decant the middle 
portion as the pure stuff? <shrug>

As you can see, it'd be nice to get a little more of a description of a 
typical example of the process. Were any such systems described in 
detail in the references you've been looking at?

Thanks,

Mike D.
