Future studies• Modify set-up to investigate
forced convection
• Take measures to improve concentrator efficiency
• Expand heat transfer model to include chemical reactions and variable convection
• Review implications of results on economic model

Conclusions• Heating and thermal decomposition of manganese
ores has been demonstrated • Effective thermal conductivities has been
determined for test materials in air• The effective concentration ratio has been
determined for the concentrator• Empirical results when compared to thermodynamic
equilibrium models indicate that kinetics factors are limiting decomposition
• Organic content in ore C facilitated higher mass loss by acting as a reductant
