Experimental Investigation of the Solar Carbothermic Reduction of ZnO Using a Two-cavity Solar Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Zinc production by solar carbothermic reduction of ZnO offers a CO2 emission reduction by a factor of 5 vis-à-vis the conventional fossil-fuel-based electrolytic or Imperial Smelting processes. ...
A New 75 kW High-Flux Solar Simulator for High-Temperature Thermal and Thermochemical Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new high-flux solar simulator, capable of delivering up to 75 kW of continuous radiative power at peak fluxes exceeding 4250 kW/m2, is operational at the ETH-Zurich. Its optical design and ...
A 300kW Solar Chemical Pilot Plant for the Carbothermic Production of Zinc
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the framework of the EU-project SOLZINC, a 300-kW solar chemical pilot plant for the production of zinc by carbothermic reduction of ZnO was experimentally demonstrated in a beam-down solar ...
