SOLAR TECHNOLOGY FOR METALLURGICAL WASTE PROCESSING
Annotatsiya
The possibilities of solar installations based on mirror-concentrating systems for processing of waste materials in a stream of concentrated high-density solar radiation are analyzed. It is proposed to use mobile compact solar installations located near metallurgical plants for processing mining and metallurgical waste. The geometric and optical-energy parameters of the concentrator for processing are calculated in order to extract metals from mining wastes. It is shown that a system of mirrors consisting of a heliostat (100 m<sup>2</sup>) and a paraboloid-shaped concentrator with a diameter of 10 m can focus a solar radiation flux with a density sufficient to melt metallurgical waste from the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Plant (AMMP). It is shown that ultrasonic treatment of waste materials stimulates an increase in the amount of copper containing phase in the melt by 8 times compared to the initial state of the material.
