APPARATUS FOR VACUUM SEPARATION OF SPONGY TITANIUM Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: nonferrous metallurgy; devices for purification of a spongy titanium.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the field of nonferrous metallurgy, in particular, to devices for purification of a spongy titanium. The technical result is an increase of productivity of the apparatus due to decrease of labor input for its servicing and acceleration of the process of a vacuum separation due to stabilization of a temperature mode in a retort-condenser. The apparatus contains a retort-reactor with a bottom branch-pipe and a false bottom closed by a cover with a central branch-pipe closed by a fusible stopper plug, a retort-condenser with a bottom branch-pipe with a stopper plug, a caisson with a distributor of water, a heated screen and with a fusible stopper plug. The apparatus in addition is supplied with a metallic nozzle mounted rigidly in the central branch-pipe of the cover under the fusible stopper plug and made in the form of a truncated cone with its smaller base facing a fusible stopper plug and with an inlet and outlet holes, a metallic shell mounted in the bottom branch-pipe of the retort-condenser and rigidly connected with the stopper plug, and with a sealed cover mounted rigidly in the upper part of the caisson. Under the sealed cover there are a bottom branch pipe of the retort-condenser and a water distributor.

EFFECT: the invention ensures increased productivity of the apparatus, decreased labor input for its servicing, acceleration of the vacuum separation process, stabilization of a temperature mode in the retort-condenser.
