“…This process reduces the iron and silicon oxides in the regolith which produces iron and silicon in addition to the oxygen. According to previous ORBITEC experiments, at least 9% of the regolith mass can be recovered as oxygen with virtually no loss of carbon (at 1630 C processing temperature) [Rice et al, 1996]. Higher processing temperatures may allow up to 28% of the regolith mass to be recovered.…”
