Description
Summary:An important chemical process being considered in the use of solar-thermal energy conversion is the high temperature catalytic dissociation of sulfite ion. At the new Mexico state Univ. campus a facility for examining chemical converter-heat exchangers at high temperature with flow rates of gaseous so3 feedstock was developed. Quartz and metal reactors with varying catalyst configurations were tested. Results reveal that successful long term use of metallic converters appears unfeasible.
