Abstract
Methods and configurations for solar heating and beneficiation of a material, such as raw mine-extracted material like lunar rocks or regolith, are presented. Beneficiation may have an end-goal of purifying the material and/or removing particular impurities or undesired substances from the material. For example, purification or elimination of particular substances from a bulk material may be achieved by vaporizing, via solar or electron beam heating, a portion of the bulk material that does not include the particular substances. The bulk material, sans the particular substances, may be subsequently condensed onto a cold substrate as a thin film, which itself may be placed in a subsequent beneficiation iteration for further elimination of selected substances.
