【実施例】本発明の鉄と銅の分離に用いる一実施例を図
1によって説明する。図1は、本実施例に用いられる分
離用の溶解炉の全体構成を示す縦断面図である。EXAMPLE An example of the present invention used for separating iron and copper will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing the overall structure of a melting furnace for separation used in this example.
【0008】底部に注出口6を有する溶解炉1に鉄(高
融点、低比重)と銅(低融点、高比重)の混合物を装入
し、図示しない電源に接続され溶解炉1の側壁を取囲む
ように配置された高周波加熱コイル2を通電することに
より、前記の鉄と銅の混合物を加熱、溶解する。A mixture of iron (high melting point, low specific gravity) and copper (low melting point, high specific gravity) is charged into a melting furnace 1 having a spout 6 at the bottom, and the side wall of the melting furnace 1 is connected to a power source (not shown). By energizing the high-frequency heating coil 2 arranged so as to surround it, the mixture of iron and copper is heated and melted.
【0009】この状態を維持することによって、溶解さ

で溶湯の上方へ浮上し、一方同溶湯中の銅は、比重が大
きいので下方へ分離され、中間部では溶湯の状態で両者
がまだ混合している。By maintaining this state, the iron in the molten metal of the molten iron and copper has a small specific gravity and thus floats above the molten metal, while the copper in the molten metal has a large specific gravity. They are separated downward, and in the middle part they are still mixed in the molten state.
【0010】その上で徐々に加周波加熱コイル2への高
周波出力を下げ、溶解炉1内の前記混合物の溶湯の温度
を、銅の融点(1083℃)より高く鉄の融点(154
0℃)より低い約1200℃まで降温する。Then, the high frequency output to the heating coil 2 is gradually lowered so that the temperature of the molten metal of the mixture in the melting furnace 1 is higher than the melting point of copper (1083 ° C.) and the melting point of iron (154).
The temperature is lowered to about 1200 ° C, which is lower than 0 ° C).

凝固を開始すると共に、前記中間部に溶湯の状態で混合
している鉄が局所で選択的に凝固を開始し、比重差で上
方へ浮上して溶融状態の銅から次第に分離される。In the process of lowering the temperature, the iron that has floated upward starts solidification, and the iron mixed in the molten state in the intermediate portion locally starts solidification selectively, and the solidified iron moves upward due to the difference in specific gravity. It floats and is gradually separated from the molten copper.

る。At the place where the temperature of the molten metal in the melting furnace 1 reaches about 1200 ° C. due to the progress of the temperature decrease, the iron 3 and the copper 4 are vertically separated in the melting furnace 1 as shown in FIG. The iron 3 is solid and the copper 4 is present in a molten liquid state, and both are vertically separated. In this case, since iron having a high melting point is solidified and separated from copper in a molten state, iron and copper are separated from each other in a highly accurate state without being mixed.
【0013】このように、鉄3が凝固して上方へ浮上
し、銅4が溶融して下方に存在する状態にある溶湯炉1
下部の注出口の蓋5を取外すと、溶解炉1の下部にある
銅4のみを溶湯として、外部に取出すことができる。In this way, the iron 3 is solidified and floats upward, and the copper 4 is melted and is present below.
When the lid 5 at the lower spout is removed, only the copper 4 at the bottom of the melting furnace 1 can be taken out as a molten metal.
【0014】また、銅を溶湯の状態で取出した後、溶解

易に取出すことができる。Further, after the copper is taken out in the molten state, the iron remaining in the melting furnace 1 can be easily taken out as a molten iron by heating the melting furnace 1 again by the high frequency heating coil 5. .

される。本実施例における鉄と銅の分離においては10
〜15℃/min 程度の降温速度が適当であった。If the cooling rate after melting the mixture is large, it becomes difficult to separate it, and it is advantageous that the cooling rate is small. However, this cooling rate is set to an appropriate value in view of the operating time and the life of the furnace. In the separation of iron and copper in this example, 10
A temperature decrease rate of about -15 ° C / min was suitable.

The metal can be reliably separated by the difference in specific gravity, and
By lowering the temperature of the molten metal to an intermediate temperature between the melting points of the metal having a low melting point and the metal having a high melting point and solidifying the metal having a high melting point, it is possible to accurately separate the two metals, and Only low metals can be taken out in the state of molten metal (liquid).
