Inventor: LEROY MICHEL
IPC: C22B9/02
Filed: 2000-01-05
Abstract: A process for purifying aluminum by segregation in order to form a solid mass (or bloom) starting from impure liquid aluminum (parent liquor) said process comprising the formation of crystals by partial crystallization, periodic compaction of the bloom and continuous re-melting of the bloom by heating during growth, and including the periodic measuring of the height of the bloom during growth and adjustment of the heating power so that the rate of increase in bloom height decreases with time.
