Removal of arsenic from liquid blister copper during remelting in an induction vacuum furnace

Using a reduced pressure during the smelting and refining of alloys removes dissolved gasses, as well as impurities with a high vapor pressure. When smelting is carried out in vacuum induction furnaces, the intensification of the discussed processes is achieved by intensive mixing of the bath, as we...
