ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed, for treating dross containing a metal such as aluminum, in order to recover this metal, In this process, the dross to be treated is introduced into a rotary or oscillating furnace, in which it is heated to a temperature above the melting point of the metal to be recovered while the furnace is rotated or oscillated to cause the metal to be recovered to separate from the dross. After the separation is completed, the metal to be recovered is removed from the furnace prior to removing the balance of the dross. In this process, the furnace that is used is a radiating arc furnace having two opposite electrodes which are preferably made of graphite, between which an electrical arc is generated and maintained in order to provide the desired heating.
