Thermochemistry is the study of heat flow to or from a chemical reaction. Solar thermochemistry is an emergent process technology that uses concentrated solar energy to drive endothermic chemical reactions at elevated temperatures.
Applications
- production of carbon-neutral fuels (examples: water splitting or Solar Upgrading of Hydrocarbons)
- solar metallurgy
- dissociation reactions (example: Zinc; project "ZOLZINC")
- purification reactions
