reverberatory furnace |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
reverberatory furnaceFurnace used for smelting, refining, or melting in which the fuel is not in direct contact with the contents but heats it by a flame blown over it from another chamber. Such furnaces are used in copper, tin, and nickel production, in the production of certain concretes and cements, and in aluminum recycling. In steelmaking, this process (now largely obsolete) is called the open-hearth process. The heat passes over the hearth and then radiates back (reverberates) onto the contents. The roof is arched, with the highest point over the firebox. It slopes downward toward a bridge of flues that deflects the flame so that it reverberates. |

Because the specific gravities for aluminum and its oxide are so close, aluminum oxide will settle in molten aluminum, which can be seen in the amount of aluminum oxide sludge removed from the floor of a reverberatory furnace during cleaning. The company's reverberatory furnaces had no capture system for SO2 emissions. The record five year period since our last copper smelter reverberatory furnace rebuild is almost double our expectation and it is a noteworthy achievement by our operations personnel," said Peter R. |
