摘要

Apparatus for continuously melting and refining inorganic compounds comprises a melt vessel (1), a refining vessel (3), an induction coil (5) connected to the refining vessel which acts to couple high frequency energy in the vessel and surrounds the wall of the refining vessel, and a connecting line (2) to convey the melt from the melt vessel into the refining vessel. The connecting line exits in the base region of the melt vessel and enters through the base region of the refining vessel. An Independent claim is also included for a process for operating the apparatus comprising feeding the melt continuously from the melt vessel to the refining vessel and passing into a killing part (6) in the upper region above the cooling channel (4).
