GAS PURIFICATION USING SOLAR ENERGY, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Techniques for purifying gases, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative system includes an absorption vessel that can separate impurities from an input gas, a regeneration vessel that can release the impurities from the solvent, a rich solvent storage vessel, and a lean solvent storage vessel. The system can include a solar concentrator array and a thermal storage unit for storing the thermal energy generated by the solar concentrator array.
