Process for conducting organic reactions in a standalone and affordable laboratory scale solar photo thermochemical reactor

摘要

A process conducts organic reactions in a standalone laboratory scale solar photo thermo chemical reactor. For organic reactions require elevated temperature, light and mechanical agitation, all three energy forms can be simultaneously derived from solar radiation. Organic synthesis, such as bromination of toluene derivatives (benzylic bromination), bromination of cyclic acyclic hydrocarbon and oxidative cyclization of N-phenylethyl benzamide through bromination were successfully conducted in such reactors.

主权项

1. A laboratory scale solar photo thermo-chemical reactor unit comprising:
a cooker type black painted box; a solar Photovoltaic (PV) panel attached to an angle assembly comprising a plurality of V-trough reflectors on north-south edges, wherein the PV panel is positioned over the cooker type black painted box; wherein the cooker type black box comprises: a lid assembly, a photovoltaic (PV) operated direct current (DC) fan fitted onto one side of the box, an air outlet configured to control temperature on the other side, and a PV operated magnetic stirrer positioned at a base of the box, and wherein the unit comprises wheels configured to enable mobility of the entire unit.
