Abstract
Today there are many reactors used in refining of primary and secondary aluminium. Continuous reactor URC-7000 is one of them. The model of such reactor was built at 1:3 scale. The physical modelling research was conducted taking into account the flow rate of refining gas and its influence of the dispersion level. There are two nozzles introducing a gas. The carried out tests included the different flow rate of a gas through the nozzles (from 5 to 15 dm3/min). Additionally, the mixing characteristics were measured and discussed for different flow rate of an inert gas.
