Solar Energy Flux

A ray-tracing analysis was conducted on a 2-stage solar concentrator made of two parabolic mirrors created by Lunenburg Industrial Foundry & Engineering (LIFE). The effects of the secondary mirror’s focal length, the distance between the secondary mirror and the target, and the misalignment with the sun were studied. The focal length of the secondary mirror determines the maximum local solar energy flux Φ that can be achieve on the target. For the optimal focal length of 157.9ʺ, a maximum Φ = 1.2 x 104 MW/m2 was achieve compare to Φ = 1680 MW/m2 for the initial LIFE’s focal length of 158.8125ʺ. The concentrator concentrates all the incident energy from the sun on the target, and that independently of the secondary mirror’s focal length (within the range studied), as long as the target position is within an 11 cm zone. Small misalignments in the order of ±0.2° would bring the concentration efficiency to zero.

In this work, concentrated solar energy (CSE) was applied to an energy-intensive process such as the vitrification of waste with the aim of manufacturing glasses. Different types of waste were used as raw materials: a hazardous waste from the aluminum industry as aluminum source; two residues from the food industry (eggshell and mussel shell) and dolomite ore as calcium source; quartz sand was also employed as glass network former. The use of CSE allowed obtaining glasses in the SiO2-Al2O3-CaO system at exposure time as short as 15 min. The raw materials, their mixtures, and the resulting glasses were characterized by means of X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and differential thermal analysis. The feasibility of combining a renewable energy, as solar energy and different waste for the manufacture of glasses, would highly contribute to circular economy and environmental sustainability.
