Abstract

A solar-driven thermochemical pilot plant for the high-temperature thermal dissociation of ZnO has been designed, fabricated, and experimentally demonstrated. Tests were conducted at the large-scale solar concentrating facility of PROMES-CNRS by subjecting the solar reactor to concentrated radiative fluxes of up to 4477 suns and peak solar radiative power input of 140 kWth. The solar reactor was operated at temperatures up to 1936 K, yielding a Zn molar fraction of the condensed products in the range 12–49% that was largely dependent on the flow rate of Ar injected to quench the evolving gaseous products.
