Solar reactors for the chemical transformation of powders in a radiation field of high power density; Solar-Reaktoren zur chemischen Umwandlung pulverfoermiger Stoffe in einem Strahlungsfeld hoher Leistungsdichte

Abstract

Solar reactors have been designed to conduct thermochemical processes for the production of solar fuels and chemicals. The decarbonation process of limestone has been selected as a model reaction in order to demonstrate the feasibility of atmospheric open solar reactors. This report describes the principles of two solar reactors which are based on the volumetric absorption concept of concentrated solar light. The related infrastructure, e.g. the solar concentrating systems at PSI, are also described. (author) 14 figs., 1 tab., 22 refs.
