Patent number: 4948102Abstract: A metal having a high purity is prepared by immersing a hollow rotary cooling member in a molten metal containing eutectic impurities and rotating the cooling member while supplying a cooling fluid to the interior of the cooling member, whereby the high-purity metal is caused to crystallize out on a metal deposition area of the peripheral surface portion of the cooling member present under the surface of the molten metal, the metal deposition area being the peripheral surface of at least a part of the entire portion, present under the melt surface, of the member. When the purified metal is caused to crystallize but by rotating the cooling member, a flow of molten metal having a downward velocity component is produced in the vicinity of an upper part of the entire portion, present under the melt surface, of the cooling member.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1988Date of Patent: August 14, 1990Assignee: Showa Aluminum CorporationInventors: Ryotatsu Otsuka, Shigemi Tanimoto, Kazuo Toyoda

Patent number: 4611790Abstract: A device comprising a rotary shaft to be disposed in a liquid substantially vertically and rotatable about its own axis, the rotary shaft having a gas channel extending therethrough axially of the shaft, and a rotor fixed to the lower end of the rotary shaft and having at its bottom surface a gas discharge outlet communicating with the gas channel. The rotor is formed in its bottom surface with radial grooves extending from the gas outlet to the peripheral surface of the rotor and each having an open end at the peripheral surface. A recess is formed in the peripheral surface between the open ends of immediately adjacent grooves and has an open lower end at the bottom surface. When the rotary shaft is rotated in a liquid while supplying a gas to the gas channel of the shaft, the gas flows out from the discharge outlet into the radial grooves and is released from the open ends of the grooves at the peripheral surface into the liquid in the form of finely divided bubbles.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1985Date of Patent: September 16, 1986Assignee: Showa Aluminum CorporationInventors: Ryotatsu Otsuka, Shigemi Tanimoto, Kazuo Toyoda
