  • Selective Removal of Impurities from Molten Aluminum
    Publication number: 20240167122
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns using microstructural engineering techniques to remove or reduce impurity elements from molten aluminum alloys, such as scrap. The impurities are removed by cooling molten aluminum, resulting in the formation of impurity-rich intermetallic compounds containing only one or more impurity elements as solid inclusions. Subsequent removal of impurity-rich intermetallic sediments by decantation, centrifuge, and filtration techniques can provide an economical method for removing the desired amount of impurities to meet the product specifications.
