This paper addresses an innovative approach to improve CO2 photoreduction via process intensification. The principle of CO2 photoreduction using process intensification is presented and reviewed. Process intensification via concentrating solar light technology is developed and demonstrated. The concept consists in rising the incident light intensity as well as the reaction temperature and pressure during CO2 photoreduction using concentrating solar light. A solar reactor system using concentrated sunlight was accordingly designed and set up. The distribution of light intensity and temperature in the reactor was modeled and simulated. CO2 photoreduction performance in the reactor system was assessed, and the reaction temperature and pressure evolution were recorded. The results showed that the light intensity, temperature, and pressure could be effectively increased and irradiation on the catalyst surface followed a Gaussian distribution. The CO2 photoreduction reaction rates were enhanced to hundreds of times.

Abstract Tests for the photocatalytic degradation of solutions of three reactive dyes, Red M-5B, Procion Blue MX-R and Procion Black H-N, in the presence of H2O2 were carried out. When the solutions of the three reactive dyes were irradiated by UV or solar light, the colour of the solutions disappeared gradually. A statistical analysis of the test results indicated a linear relation between the concentration of dyes and the time of irradiation. The discolouration reaction of the solutions was of the first order. Rate equations for the discolouration reactions of dye solutions were developed. The dark reactions or the dye solutions containing H2O2 were very slow, illustrating that the photochemical reaction played a very important role. It was demonstrated that UV light and solar light (300 to 380 nm) photolyzes the HO and that the resulting OH radical reacts with the dye molecules and destroys the chromophore.
