FURNACE OF MAGNESIUM CONTINUOUS REFINEMENT Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C22B26/22 C22B9/10 F27B17/00 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns devices for refinement of magnesium. Furnace of magnesium continuous refinement with salt heating includes lined cylindrical casing installed inside on supports alloying basket with central vertical channel, crown, introduced through side wall lower than alloying basket electrodes and bottom with bevels. At that distance from bottom till electrodes is 200-300 mm, and distance from electrodes till alloying basket is 1.0-2.0 of electrodes height. Electrodes are located symmetrical relative to vertical axes of furnace and relative to each other. In crown above electrodes there are implemented manholes with covers. Supports of alloying basket bear on electro- insulating supports or gaskets, and top edge of electrodes is implemented as bevel. Diameter of bottom horizontal part is 0.5-0.95 of distance between diametrical electrodes.

EFFECT: stabilisation of electrical and temperature conditions of furnace.
