| ID No : | 961 Edit | Title: | Ceramics for Molten Materials Transfer |
| Summary / Review : |
Molten materials containment.
"The paper reviews the main issues associated with molten materials transfer and handling on the lunar surface during the operation of a high temperature electrowinning cell used to produce oxygen, with molten iron and silicon as byproducts. A combination of existing technologies and purposely designed technologies show promise for lunar exploitation. An important limitation that requires extensive investigation is the performance of refractory currently used for the purpose of molten metal containment and transfer in the lunar environment associated with electrolytic cells. The principles of a laboratory scale unit at a scale equivalent to the production of 1 metric ton of oxygen per year are introduced. This implies a mass of molten materials to be transferred consistent with the equivalent of 1kg regolith lhr processed." (Author's abstract) |
