The invention relates to a high Cu-RE refining agent which has high efficiency and low burning
loss rate and can be used for
copper and
copper alloy, applied to
mass refining of the
copper and the
copper alloy, especially applied to refining and modification of red impure copper and white impure copper. The Cu-RE interalloy refining agent is prepared by a vacuum melting method, wherein,
rare earth content is up to 30-65%; and only 2-6g / kg refining agent is added while the Cu-RE interalloy refining agent is applied to remelting refining of
scrap copper. The Cu-RE refining agent enhances slagging and deslagging of copper fused
mass, reduces deleterious substances in the fused
mass of the
scrap copper, and improves texture and performance of the copper and the
copper alloy, therefore, products prepared from the red impure copper as a
raw material reach or exceed the quality of the products prepared from electrolytic copper as a
raw material, and the white copper process waste can be used for directly producing high-quality products after remelting refined, thus promoting recycle and reutilization of the
scrap copper, saving energy and resource, reducing environmental
pollution and generating significant economic and
social benefits.
