Experimental aspects of the thermochemical conversion of solar energy - Decarbonation of CaCO3
Abstract
The feasibility of thermochemical conversion of concentrated solar energy is investigated. Consideration is given to heterogeneous systems in the range 500-1500 C. A reaction volume is on a laboratory scale about 30 cu cm. An experimental set-up selected is a fluid bed and a rotary kiln. An endothermal reaction, namely, decarbonation of CaCO3, is selected as a possible application for solar power plants.
