The incorporation of renewable energy sources in high temperature industrial processes has the potential to reduce energy costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions. The current study forms part of an evaluation of the opportunities to integrate concentrating solar thermal energy into the sintering of manganese ores. The study includes the results of direct irradiation of manganese ore pellets with concentrating solar flux in combination with the closed-loop forced convection of air. The results of this study will be of interest to the fields of high temperature solar thermal process heat and solar thermal materials processing as well as manganese ore sinter production.The incorporation of renewable energy sources in high temperature industrial processes has the potential to reduce energy costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
