Abstract:
1. A method for reducing metal-oxidic slags or glasses, or for degassing mineral melts, comprising the steps of: charging at least one of solid particles and melted materials onto an at least partially inductively heated bed or column of lumpy coke, thereby producing a treated melt that is at least one of reduced and degassed, and collecting said treated melt, wherein at least one of said solid particles or melted materials are comprised of glass, and are charged onto glowing coke, a redox potential of the bed or column is controlled by blowing gases directly into the bed or column, and a temperature of the bed or column is controlled by changing electric power intake and by blowing gases directly into the bed or column.
