PROPHIS: parabolic trough-facility for organic photochemical syntheses in sunlight

摘要

The PROPHIS facility is an efficient tool for the synthesis of chemicals with moderately concentrated sunlight on a semi-technical scale. The feasibility of selected solar photochemical reaction classes - including heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions - has been demonstrated using various set-ups of the plant. This paper outlines the potential of solar photochemistry by representative examples.
