Abstract
A method and an apparatus for refining a melt by means of a pulverous solid material and a carrier gas, in which the pulverous solid material and gas are injected into a reactor while melt is poured into the reactor, the kinetic energy of the melt created by falling being utilized for mixing the pulverous reagent and the gas with the melt, and the agitation of the melt surface being attenuated by causing the flow of the injected pulverous reagent and gas and the flow of the melt being poured to impinge against each other from opposite directions in the reactor.
