2 Total exergy as heat (120~450⁰C) needed to run the process, without integration with flue gas. 3 Exergy that the flue gas provides to the endothermic blocks. 4 Total exergy of the process when<br />

flue gas provides heat to all the endothermic stages. This final value may lead to the erroneous conclusion that the heat content of the flue gas is enough to process more serpentine. This “surplus” of<br />

exergy comes from streams at T ≤ 400⁰C making its heat content unsuitable for the processing of rock material at ~440⁰C. On the other hand this heat is appropriate for district heating.<br />
