Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a filtration system for purifying magnesium. Specifically, the present invention relates to a filtration system for recycling and purification of scrap magnesium and magnesium ingots with impurities.
- Magnesium alloys are heated to a molten state in preparation for hot- working thereof.
- Molten magnesium alloys easily oxidise and react with impurities, especially when scrap magnesium alloys are reused.
- magnesium alloys are contaminated by non-metallic and metallic inclusions, for example oxides or intermetallic compounds, when melted.
- the magnesium alloys are typically melted for producing castings.
- the presence of inclusions within the magnesium alloys results in metallurgical defects therein and will adversely affect the quality of the castings produced from the magnesium alloys.
- a known method for removing the impurities is to send the magnesium alloys to a smelter for smelting.
- smelting is a costly process.
- Another known process uses impediment plates disposed within a furnace for removing top and bottom sludge from magnesium melts.
- the impediment plates do not remove inclusions suspended in the magnesium melts.
- a filtration system for magnesium recycling and purification comprising: a first chamber for containing magnesium melt, the magnesium melt containing impurities; and a second chamber for receiving purified magnesium melt, wherein said first and second chambers have disposed therebetween a filter, the filter being a silicon-free medium.
- a filtration method for magnesium recycling and purification comprising the steps of: receiving magnesium melt into a first chamber, the magnesium melt containing impurities within the first chamber containing impurities; providing a second chamber, the second chamber being in fluid communication with the first chamber; and substantially removing the impurities from the magnesium melt flowing from the first chamber into the second chamber using a filter, the filter being disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber and the filter including a silicon- free medium.
- a filtration method for magnesium recycling and purification comprising the steps of: receiving magnesium into a first chamber, the magnesium within the first chamber containing impurities and the magnesium being one of a magnesium melt or solid magnesium ingot; providing a second chamber, the second chamber being in fluid communication with the first chamber; heating the magnesium contained in the first chamber by a heating apparatus for melting the magnesium and for maintaining the magnesium melt in a molten state, and the magnesium melt in the first chamber thereby flowing into the second chamber; and substantially removing the impurities from the magnesium melt flowing from the first chamber into the second chamber using a filter, the filter being disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber and the filter including a silicon- free medium.

- FIG. 1 shows a partial front sectional view of the filtration system 20
- FIG. 2 shows a partial side sectional view of the filtration system 20.
- the filtration system 20 is for use in substantially purifying magnesium.
- the filtration system 20 includes a crucible 22 being divided into two parts by a filter adapter 24 disposed therein, the two parts of the crucible being namely a first chamber 26 and a second chamber 28.
- the first chamber 26 is in fluid communication with the second chamber 28 through an opening 30, as shown in FIG. 2, in the filter adapter 24 that forms a passageway therebetween.
- the filter adapter 24 is for receiving a filter 32 therewithin and for removably engaging thereto.
- FIG. 3 is an illustration of the filter 32
- FIG. 4 is an illustration of the first chamber 26 and the filter 32.
- the filter adapter 24 is preferably a steel structure that shaped and dimensioned for holding the filter 32 at the periphery thereof.
- the filtration system 20 further includes a heating apparatus coupled to the crucible 22.
- the heating apparatus is preferably integrated with the crucible 22 for providing heat to the crucible 22 and its contents.
- the heating apparatus is electrically connected to a controller (all not shown).
- the filtration system 20 is for providing substantially purified magnesium melts to downstream systems or machineries, for example, a die-casting machine.
- magnesium ingots or scraps are provided to the first chamber 26 of the filtration system 20.
- the controller activates the heating apparatus to provide heat to the crucible 22 and the magnesium therein, thereby melting the magnesium.
- magnesium melt can be provided to the first chamber 26 of the crucible 22.
- the heating apparatus provides heat to the crucible 22 to maintain the magnesium melt in its molten state and to melt the magnesium scraps and ingots added to the magnesium melt thereafter.
- the filter 32 of the filtration system 20 is preferably made of a silicon-free material.
- Conventional filters for example a filter for aluminium alloys, are made of silicon- based materials. The silicon-based materials readily react with magnesium to cause contamination therein and are therefore undesirable.
- the filter 32 is made of one of steels or ceramic material which comprises of one or more material selected from a group consisting of Al 2 O 3 , MgO, AlPO 4 and Mg (PO 4 ) 2 .
- the filter 32 comprises of an array of apertures (not shown). Each of the apertures is shaped and dimensioned for preventing the passage of a particle having a size greater than 5 microns therethrough. Preferably, each pair of adjacent apertures are spaced apart a distance of 5 to 250 microns.
- the magnesium melt 38 in the first chamber 26 passes through the filter 32 and into the second chamber 28 of the crucible 22. Therefore, the impurities suspended in the magnesium melt 38 contained in the first chamber 26 is substantially removed by the filter 32 before entering the second chamber 28 as purified magnesium melt 40.
- the magnesium melt 38 contained in the first chamber 26 contains bottom sludge that has settled at the bottom of the first chamber 26.
- top sludge can also be found floating at the surface of the magnesium melt 38 contained in the first chamber 26.
- the filter adapter 24 functions to substantially impede the top sludge and bottom sludge in the first chamber 26 from entering the second chamber 28 (all not shown).
- the magnesium melt 38 in the first chamber 26 is drawn into the second chamber 28 by hydrostatic forces acting on the magnesium melt 38.
- the magnesium melt 38 in the first chamber 26 continues to be drawn into the second chamber until the hydrostatic pressures of magnesium melt 38 in the first chamber 26 and the purified magnesium melt 40 in the second chamber 28 are in equilibrium.
- each of the first chamber 26 and the second chamber 28 has a thermocouple 42 disposed therewithin. Both the thermocouples 42 are electrically connected to the controller for transducing temperature of the magnesium melt 38 in the first chamber 26 into first temperature signals (not shown) and the temperature of the purified magnesium melt 40 in the second chamber 40 into second temperature signals (not shown).
- the first and second temperature signals are transmitted to the controller.
- the controller uses a control function (not shown) to determine and control the heat output of the heating apparatus, thereby maintaining the magnesium melt 38 and the purified magnesium melt 40 in a molten state and to prevent overheating thereof. In the molten state, the viscosities of both the magnesium melt 38 and the purified magnesium melt 40 are greatly reduced, thereby facilitating flow thereof through the filter 32.
- the crucible 22 is preferably enclosed for receiving and retaining protective gas therein.
- a gas feed system (not shown) is connected to the crucible for supplying the protective gas thereinto.
- the protective gas prevents both the magnesium melt 38 and the purified magnesium melt 40 from reacting with the atmosphere by forming a screen therebetween.
- An extractor 44 extends from within the second chamber 28 to a die-casting assembly 46.
- the extractor 44 is for extracting the purified magnesium melt 40 from the second chamber 28 and providing the purified magnesium melt 40 to the die-casting assembly 46.
- the extractor 44 shown in FIG. 1 uses a piston and a goose-neck chamber assembly for extracting the purified magnesium melt 40.
- Extracting the purified magnesium melt 40 from the second chamber 28 reduces the level of the purified magnesium melt 40 contained therein.
- the reduction of the level of the purified magnesium melt 40 in the second chamber 28 further draws the magnesium melt 38 from the first chamber 26 and into the second chamber 28.
- Magnesium melt and magnesium ingots or scraps can be further provided to the first chamber 26 for replenishing the second chamber 28 and thereby the filtration system
- the purified magnesium melt 40 supplied from the filtration system 20 to the die- casting assembly 46 provides the die-casting assembly with a substantially inclusion- free purified magnesium melt 40 supply for use in a die-casting process.
- the alloy used in the tests was AZ91 HP having a composition of Al 8-9.5%, Zn 0.3-1.0%, Mn>0.17%, Si ⁇ 0.05%, Fe ⁇ 0.004%, Cu ⁇ 0.015%, Ni ⁇ O.01%, others ⁇ 0.01%, others ⁇ 0.01%, Mg (remaining).
