The invention belongs to the technical field of secondary aluminum refining, and particularly relates to a secondary aluminum refining method and device. The
copper chloride is creatively used as the refining agent of the secondary aluminum, and the dispersion method, the adding speed and the adding amount of the
copper oxide are limited, so that the
copper chloride powder can be ensured to quickly and uniformly enter the secondary aluminum melt, the reaction is ensured to be quickly and efficiently carried out, and the optimal
magnesium removal and
impurity removal effects are further achieved. The
molar ratio of Mg in the aluminum
alloy melt to Cl in the added
copper chloride is limited and controlled to be 1: (2-3), it is ensured that Mg, part of gas and non-
metal impurities in the regenerated aluminum melt can be fully removed, meanwhile, it is ensured that the
copper chloride magnesium removal refining agent reaches the high
utilization rate, resource waste is avoided, and the production cost is reduced. And meanwhile, the introduction amount of the copper element in the secondary
aluminum can be within a controllable range, so that the copper element is prevented from exceeding the standard.
