Solar furnace
OverviewHistoryUsesSmaller-scale devicesSee alsoExternal links
A solar furnace is a structure that uses concentrated solar power to produce high temperatures, usually for industry. Parabolic mirrors or heliostats concentrate light (Insolation) onto a focal point. The temperature at the focal point may reach 3,500 °C (6,330 °F), and this heat can be used to generate electricity, melt steel, make hydrogen fuel or nanomaterials.
The Importance of New "Sand-to-Silicon
A new electro-thermal metallurgy method to prep. high purity silicon (ASTM A 922) was developed in this paper. CaO-SiO2 were added into raw materials as slagging agents during the smelting process in order to
Furnace temperature and pressure math

6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel smelting furnace]
Will panatère melt steel using solar energy?
Melting steel using solar energy is the bet Panatère is about to win. A manufacturer of steel and stainless-steel watch components, the company will in a few months be the first in the world to use an industrial solar furnace to melt metal.
Will a solar furnace melt a lot of steel a year?
For the first time, steel will be industrially recycled from the heat of the sun alone. The solar furnace could melt up to 400 tons of recycled steel each year. The ingots will be reused by Panatère or sold to other companies.
How many tons of recycled steel can a solar furnace melt?
The solar furnace could melt up to 400 tons of recycled steel each year. The ingots will be reused by Panatère or sold to other companies. The furnace will reach a temperature of 2,000°C, which is more than enough because the melting point of steel, stainless steel and titanium is between 1,400 and 1,700°C.
What is the temperature of a solar furnace?
The furnace will reach a temperature of 2,000°C, which is more than enough because the melting point of steel, stainless steel and titanium is between 1,400 and 1,700°C. To do this, the device will need to concentrate the power of solar radiation to a single point with the help of mirrors.
Is panatère launching a concentrating industrial solar furnace?
Swiss microtechnology company Panatère, a watch component manufacturer and steel recycling business based in Saignelégier, has announced that it will soon inaugurate its concentrating industrial solar furnace.
Can a solar oven melt steel?
Steel has never been commercially melted using only the sun’s energy. Developed in partnership with the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Panatère’s solar oven will be 15 m wide and 6 m high. It consists of two surfaces covered with mirrors arranged differently.
