A process for removing alkali and alkaline earth metals from aluminum melts is such that aluminum fluoride powder is fed continuously to a carrier gas in an amount of 1-10 g/min. and the gas/powder mixture introduced continuously via lances into the melt which is maintained at a temperature between 690 DEG and 780 DEG C. The process is characterized by a low consumption of aluminum fluoride per ton of melt to be treated and is particularly suitable for removing sodium and lithium from aluminum-magnesium alloy melts.
