ABSTRACT:
A process for the continuous copper drossing of molten lead bullion is provided, the process comprising, establishing a column of molten lead having a hot top portion at a temperature of about 800.degree. C. to 1150.degree. C. and a bottom portion of substantially lower temperature of about 340.degree. C. to 425.degree. C. Approximately the middle portion of the molten lead is controlled at a temperature of about 750.degree. C. to 900.degree. C. to thereby provide a predetermined temperature gradient extending from the middle portion to the bottom portion controlled at about 340.degree. C. to 425.degree. C. The temperature of the top portion is controlled by induction heating and the temperature of the bottom portion by cooling coils containing a fluid coolant. The molten lead is fed continuously to the middle portion of the column while maintaining the temperature thereof at about 750.degree. C. to 900.degree. C. The molten lead is continuously withdrawn from the bottom portion of the column at a rate conducive to maintaining the desired predetermined temperature gradient between the middle of the container and the bottom thereof.
