Plasma-Assisted Melting Furnace for Metal Recovery from Oxide Slags - VMP-1750

MTI

Overview

VMP-1750 is a customized furnace for recovering valuable metals from oxide slags. It combines induction heating and reverse-polarity transferred Arc Plasma together in a high vacuum chamber. The induction heating will melt slags in a graphite crucible, and water cold anode electrode will produce a high-temperature plasma to separate noble metals from oxide slag by electrolysis.
