A refining agent for 
copper and 
copper alloy smelting is characterized in that the components of the refining agent are 5 to 15 percent by weight of 
calcium fluoride, 1 to 5 percent by weight of 
silicon dioxide, 1 to 5 percent by weight of 
titanium dioxide, 2 to 10 percent by weight of 
sodium fluosilicate, 40 to 60 percent by weight of 
sodium carbonate and the balance 
sodium tetraborate; the refining agent materials are weighed according to a formula, uniformly mixed, placed into a 
drying box and dried under 120 DEG C for an hour, and a metallographic inlaying 
machine is used for manually pressing the refining agent into the shape of a sheet. The refining agent has the advantages that the refining agent is integrated with the functions of 
deoxidization, 
degasification, 
impurity removal and the like, and has strong adsorbing, dissolving and combination slagging capabilities; the 
surface tension between the refining agent and 
metal melt is high, the refining agent can promote 
molten slag to float up, so that the 
molten slag can be better separated from 
molten metal, and thereby the effects of refining, 
impurity removal and melt purification are achieved; the refining agent has high 
chemical stability and 
thermal stability, does not have the 
corrosion effect on 
metal and the furnace lining, and cannot chemically react with the 
molten metal, the refining agent and the 
molten metal cannot be melted into each other as well, and thereby the original composition and properties of 
alloy are guaranteed; and the refining agent does not have public 
hazard, is safe and environment-friendly, is convenient to use, and is cheap.
