6 FAQs about [Solar Thermochemistry]
What is solar thermochemical process?
For a solar thermochemical process, the energy required for driving these reactions is obtained from sun rather than burning fossil fuels. The process will thus lead to net embodied solar energy in the product gas. This will serve twin purpose of using a clean technology for hydrogen production and prolonging the shelf life of fossil fuels.
Can solar thermochemical processes be compared?
It is observed that not all solar thermochemical processes have been experimentally demonstrated, hence the experimental results cannot be compared. However, a detailed thermodynamic comparison of these processes will give an idea of their potential and future prospect.
What is solar thermochemical production of industrial commodities?
This section reviews research work on solar thermochemical production of industrial commodities. Solar thermochemical processes can replace energy intensive metal production techniques like electro winning and imperial smelting.
When did solar thermochemical processes change?
shows the trend in publications on solar thermochemical processes from 1974 to 2014. The results are obtained from Scopus. After the 1973 oil crisis, efforts were directed to shift from hydrocarbon to a hydrogen economy. In this context, research on thermochemical splitting of water for hydrogen production was initiated.
Can solar thermochemical processes replace energy intensive metal production techniques?
Solar thermochemical processes can replace energy intensive metal production techniques like electro winning and imperial smelting. For a thermochemical process, metals can be produced from their metal oxides by direct dissociation, carbothermal and methanothermal reduction processes as shown in Eqs.
How to evaluate performance of a solar thermochemical process?
A better way to evaluate performance of a solar thermochemical process is by calculating the time integrated efficiency shown in set c. This efficiency was evaluated for ceramic foam reactors in the project SOLREF. Set d indicates the percentage of chemical energy in the total heat absorbed by the reactants.
