<p>A method and apparatus for controlling slag in a trough of a tilting furnace or in a free-standing tilting vessel. The apparatus (10) has a reservoir (36) for receiving a flow of molten metal and slag. The reservoir has a slag opening (52). One of its walls functions as a dam with a bottom opening (68). A passage extends from the bottom opening along a weir (80) which terminates at an elevation above the bottom opening (68) but below the slag opening (52). The molten metal flows over the weir (80) and out of the device (10). The slag is retained in the reservoir (36) and discharged out of the slag opening (52).</p> |
