The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing top dross of a plating pot where a snout and an air knife are arranged, the snout being arranged between the front end region and the rear end region of a plating pot. The present invention provides an apparatus for removing top dross of a plating pot, the apparatus comprising: a first wiping means which is mounted on the plating pot and is arranged between the snout and the air knife so as to be movable in the width direction of the plating pot; a second wiping means which is mounted on the plating pot and is rotatably arranged between the air knife and the first wiping means so as to transfer, to the rear end region, the top dross transferred by the first wiping means; and a third wiping means which is mounted on the plating pot and is rotatably arranged between the air knife and the front end region so as to transfer the top dross to the front end region. Thereby, the present invention provides an advantageous effect of effectively removing dross.

Aluminum can be used as a fuel source when reacted with water if its native surrounding oxide coating is penetrated with a gallium-based eutectic. When discrete aluminum objects are treated in a heated bath of eutectic, the eutectic penetrates the oxide coating. After the aluminum objects are treated, the aluminum objects can be reacted in a reactor to produce hydrogen which can, for example, react with oxygen in a fuel cell to produce electricity, for use in a variety of applications.
