Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ALUMINUM BY MELT ELECTROLYSIS OF A SOLUTION OF ALUMINIUM OXIDES IN MOLTEN FLUORIDES WHEREIN A FURNACE GAS INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, DUST AND TAR FUMES IS GENERATED THE METHOD COMPRISING THE STEPS OF COLLECTING THE GAS IN THE FURNACE, WITHDRAWING THE COLLECTED GAS FROM THE FURNACE, THEN AT A POINT IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT SUCH FURNACE AND, WHILE THE GAS TEMPERATURE IS NOT LESS THAN 200*C. SUBJECTING THE GAS TO SUDDEN COOLING AND AGITATION BY INJECTING A SPRAY OF LIQUID INTO THE GAS STREAM TO CONDENSE TAR FUMES AND TO CREATE TURBULENCE WHEREBY TAR FUMES AND DUST PARTICLES ARE CAUSED TO AGGLOMERATE AND SEPARATING THE AGGLOMERATES FROM THE GAS AND CONDUCTING THE GAS AWAY FROM THE FURNACE POT.
