Which technique is used to purify a solid organic compound that sublimes on heating?

Sublimation is the process where a solid turns into a gas without passing through the liquid state, useful for purifying compounds like camphor or naphthalene.

Which purification method would fail to separate a mixture of two organic solids with identical sublimation temperatures

Sublimation relies on sublimation temperature differences, ineffective here. Crystallization or extraction using water solubility would work instead.
