Bauxite and silica particles are candidate materials for solar thermal energy storage at high temperatures. The temperature-dependent emittance of packed beds with bauxite and silica particles was measured using a newly upgraded emissometer at wavelengths 2 μm ≤ λ ≤ 16 μm and temperatures up to ~730 K. The room-temperature emittance was obtained from the measured directional-hemispherical reflectance. A fused silica disc was used to test the emissometer by comparing the measured spectral emittance with the calculated emittance from a fitted Lorentz oscillator model. For the polycrystalline silica particles and the fused silica disc, the measured emittance increases with temperature in the mid-infrared region. The underlying mechanism is interpreted as the temperature-dependent damping coefficient in the Lorentz oscillator model. Two types of bauxite particles with different compositions and sizes were investigated. For λ > 10 μm, the measured emittance at elevated temperatures is higher than that at room temperature. In the region 2 μm < λ < 6 μm, the temperature dependence varies for different types of particles. The total emittance of bauxite particle beds was calculated by spectral integration using Planck’s distribution at the prescribed temperature. As a result, the calculated total emittance is between 0.89 and 0.96, but it does not change monotonically with temperature.
