The invention relates to a method of purifying indium from silicon by baking an indium melt at a predetermined baking temperature in a crucible in a quartz container through which hydrogen gas having a predetermined water content, is flowed. According to the invention the quartz container is kept during the baking at a predetermined temperature that is lower than the baking temperature, and the surface skin of the melt is broken up at least once during the baking.
