PROCESS FOR MELTING AN ALUMINUM CHARGE CONTAINING ORGANIC MATERIAL

摘要

In a process for the melting of an aluminum charge in a melting furnace, the A1 charge contains organic materials or an organic charge is provided into the furnace. The combustion of the organic charge is carried out with an oxyfuel burner wherein the oxygen/fuel ratio in the burner is such that there is an excess of oxygen which provides an oxidizing atmosphere in the melting furnace. The heat content of the organic loading is used for melting A1 and the furnace yield is increased.
