| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for the thermochemical conversion of feedstock, comprising heating the feedstock to a thermochemical conversion temperature in a reaction chamber to produce one or more products of thermochemical conversion of the feedstock. Heating the feedstock to the thermochemical conversion temperature comprises: flowing heat carrier particles through a focal zone of a solar concentrator to heat the heat carrier particles; and supplying the heated heat carrier particles to the reaction chamber to heat the feedstock to said thermochemical conversion temperature. The invention also relates to a method for removing carbon dioxide and/or sulphur compounds from a mixture of gases including carbon dioxide and/or sulphur compounds The method comprises: contacting the mixture of gases with sorption particles in a gas cleaning zone, to remove at least a portion of the carbon dioxide and/or sulphur compounds from the mixture by chemisorption to the sorption particles, thereby producing reacted sorption particles; and regenerating the sorption particles by flowing the reacted sorption particles through a focal zone of a solar concentrator to heat the sorption particles to a regeneration temperature. |
