To dertermine what items you will get from purification, according to the OP, the game uses an algorithm that is cyclical, which means that by purifying a few items from a lot ("lot" as in "group", not as in "many") of items of the same type, you can predict what the other items will be further down the line if you were to collect and purify more loot. All the other items you collect of the same type will follow the same pattern as long as you always keep one of them unpurified. Once you purify the last one, the pattern for the next lot of items of that type will change. So if I understand correctly, this can be used to know beforehand if you're going to get anything good and this way you can avoid having to purify a lot which will only yield things that you do not want. You can throw all of them but one away and purify the remaining one to get a new "pattern".
