Abstract:
Liquid metal is continuously recovered by condensing metal vapour in a sealed system, more or less at atmospheric pressure, and collecting liquid metal in a crucible. The contents of the crucible are agitated and the temperature is controlled to prevent the liquid metal from solidifying. Liquid metal and dross are tapped from the crucible.
