A device for dispersing gas into molten metal includes an impeller, a drive shaft having a gas-transfer passage therein, and a first end and a second end, and a drive source. The second end of the drive shaft is connected to the impeller and the first end is connected to the drive source. The impeller includes a first portion and a second portion with a plurality of cavities. The first portion covers the second portion to help prevent gas from escaping to the surface without entering the cavities and being mixed with molten metal as the impeller rotates. When gas is transferred through the gas-transfer passage, it exits through the gas-release opening(s) in the bottom of the impeller. At least some of the gas enters the cavities where it is mixed with the molten metal being displaced by the impeller. Also disclosed are impellers that can be used to practice the invention.

The device of claim 10, wherein each of the plurality of second cavities is juxtaposed by a shearing structure. 12. The device of claim 10, wherein there are eight first cavities and four second cavities. 13. The device of claim 10, wherein the impeller has a center and each of the second cavities is farther from the center than each of the cavities. 14. The impeller of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of channels, wherein each of the plurality of channels leads to one of the cavities. 15. The impeller of claim 1, wherein each cavity is defined by a fully curved side surface and a top surface, and the channel extends from the center of the impeller to the center of the curved side surface. 16.
