Solar-thermal catalytic reactor

摘要: A gas processing system includes an input gas supply, an output gas storage container and/or an inlet to a secondary reactor, and a solar-thermal reactor. The solar-thermal reactor uses a solar collector to focus sunlight onto a reactor, the reactor having a housing that encloses a reaction chamber, a catalyst arranged therein, an inlet for receiving the input gas and an outlet for expelling the output gas. Sunlight is focused by the solar collector to heat the reactor and thereby chemically convert the input gas from the gas supply into the output gas that can be stored in the output gas container or directed towards the secondary reactor.
