Abstract

Concentrating solar energy can deliver high temperature process heat to metallurgical processes. An overview of mineral resources in South Africa and Australia and the possibilities of using concentrating solar thermal energy for thermal decomposition as novel low-carbon pre-treatment processes are investigated. The paper will consider the thermodynamics of oxide and carbonate minerals and evaluate the potential carbon emission reductions as well as changes in energy demand of such processes. The state of the art of concentrating solar technologies for materials treatment as applied to the thermal decomposition reactions are reviewed.
