Refinement of aluminum from sodium with graphitized materials

Description

Purification of primary aluminum from sodium has been made by filtering of the melts through inert filters made of grafitized materials. Aluminum A85 and A7 was filtered under vacuum by gravity when poured from ladle to ladle. Purification decreased the content of sodium by an order. The stability of filtering materials was satisfactory. A possible mechanism of sodium removal from liquid aluminum is discussed
