A graphite purification system contains a vessel adapted to contain graphite particles, including an inductive coil for heating said vessel; and a cooling system for cooling said graphite purification system, whereby the cooling system is adapted to also cool the graphite particles. The purification system may be a continuous or batch system, and, the vessel may be at least partially formed from graphite. A process for purifying graphite particles is also presented and includes providing a vessel formed at least partially from graphite; loading graphite particles into the vessel; inductively heating at least a portion of the vessel, and thereby heating the graphite particles in physical contact with the vessel; and cooling the vessel and the graphite particles.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of magnesium metallurgy, and in particular to a device and method for magnesium smelting by vacuum carbothermal reduction of calcined dolomite. The device includes a reaction chamber, a condensation chamber, a first temperature regulation module and an air pressure regulation module, and the reaction chamber is communicated with the condensation chamber via a gas-guide tube. In the present disclosure, different condensation zones are utilized to sequentially condense gaseous products based on dew points, effectively preventing impurities from entering the condensation process of magnesium. Additionally, based on dynamic equilibrium in the condensation process of the gaseous products within the condensation chamber, efficient condensation and collection of magnesium in the condensation zone at middle section is ensured while preventing reverse reaction between magnesium and CO in the condensation zone of magnesium, enhancing the condensation-based purification effect.

A casting system, apparatus, and method. The casting system can include an energy source and a hearth, which can have a tapered cavity. The tapered cavity can have a first end portion and a second end portion, and the tapered cavity can narrow between the first and second end portions. Further, the tapered cavity can have an inlet at the first end portion that defines an inlet capacity, and one or more outlets at the second end portion that define an outlet capacity. Where the cavity has a single outlet, the outlet capacity can be less than the inlet capacity. Where the cavity has multiple outlets, the combined outlet capacity can match the inlet capacity. Further, the cross-sectional area of the tapered cavity near the inlet can be similar to the cross-sectional area of the inlet.
