Distillation electric furnaces

The book deals with theory and practice of development and operation of distilling electric furnaces wherein electrotrchnological processes of separating and refining mixed metals are ac-companied by heat exchange and mass transfer between molten metal and condensation surfaces, connected by flows of vapor-gas mixtures. There are considered principles of operation and theory of distilling electric resistance furnaces, distilling induction, arc and plasma furnaces which provide for production of pure and ultrapure metals, processing powders used in bag fil-ters and in electrostatic filters, scrubbers, as well as mixed metal separation in ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy. The book presents the results of realizing distilling process in commercial equipment. The present book is appropriated for the specialist of engineering plants and scientific organ-izations, of design and research institutions, design departments, occupied with development, manufacture and operation of the equipment applied for realizing distilling and refining processes, as well as for students, undergraduates, post-graduates and teachers of various special-ties.
