Method for the purification of an aluminium alloy containing an alloying element wherein the aluminium alloy is subjected to a fractional crystallisation process. At least the aluminium alloy is separated into a product stream having a content of the alloying element less than the content of the alloying element in the aluminium alloy and a downgrade stream having a content of the alloying element higher than the content of the alloying element in the aluminium alloy. The downgrade stream is subjected to a process of separation of intermetallics wherein an additive is added to the downgrade stream to form a mixture containing intermetallics formed, and from this mixture a waste stream and a recycle stream is separated which waste stream contains a higher content of the alloying element than the recycle stream, and the recycle stream is fed at least partly into the fractional crystallisation process.
