A REACTION INSTALLATION FOR THE RECOVERY OF ZINC CONTAINED IN SCRAP,RESIDUES AND MATTES OF THAT METAL

摘要

An apparatus for separating metallic zinc from zinc-containing residues includes a tank which is coolable by the flow of air through a helicoidal conduit that is open radically to the outside via upper and lower orifices and formed within a chamber surrounding the tanks internal refractory coating. A radial flow of molten material against the tank walls is produced by the driven blades of a paddle wheel. Air is supplied to the tank via an air intake in the closure cover. An upper annulr chamber around the cover's seating communicates with the tank's interior via the cover and has an external orifice for connection of a suction conduit.
