    摘要: A continuous vacuum refining method of molten metals, wherein impurities in the molten metal are eliminated by evaporation by stirring the molten metal (1) in the molten liquid stirring part B in the evacuated and pre-heated vacuum chamber, the molten liquid is transferred from the stirring part B to the tapping part C in the chamber through connecting holes, the molten liquid is continuously guided into the vessel in the refined molten liquid recovery chambers (10a), (10b) through the recovery passageways (8a), (8b) connected to the tapping part C, the recovery chamber being evacuated and connected with the passageway, and the refined molten liquid (9) is recovered after returning the pressure to the atmospheric pressure, wherein the molten liquid is discharged using plural passageways and plural recovery chambers connected with the respective passageways with alternating the recovery chamber. An apparatus employed for this method.
